Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 large egg (for batter)
2 tablespoons melted butter
4 slices bacon
2 large eggs (for frying)
2 slices cheddar cheese
Butter for cooking pancakes and eggs
Instructions
In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, 1 egg, and melted butter. Pour wet into dry and stir until just combined; batter will be lumpy.
Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer to paper towels; keep warm. Reserve 1 tablespoon bacon fat.
Heat a griddle or nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly butter. Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake. Cook until bubbles form on surface and edges are set, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook 1 minute more. Repeat to make 4 pancakes.
In the same skillet, heat reserved bacon fat over medium heat. Crack 2 eggs and fry until whites are set but yolks are runny, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
To assemble: Place one pancake on a plate, top with a slice of cheese, then a slice of bacon. Repeat with another pancake, cheese, and bacon. Top with a fried egg. Serve immediately.
Tips
For extra flavor, add a pinch of cayenne or paprika to the pancake batter.
Use sharp cheddar for a stronger cheese taste.
If you prefer well-done yolks, cook eggs for an additional 1-2 minutes.
