The truth is… I wasn’t exactly how these would go over either. The batter is thick, and it produces sturdy, yet fluffy little cakes that are perfect for stacking.

As a true bacon lover does, I always save some extra crispy bacon to serve on top.

And then I cover it all with a massive downpour of warm maple syrup.

I’ll never forget when we first sampled these. Wow. These are really different. And by different, I mean they are really very good. They don’t taste quite the same as pancakes, since there is a savory element to it all. So I thought it would be more appropriate to call them “griddle cakes.” The cakes have a fluffy interior, and those chunks of bacon and corn and melted cheese combined with the maple syrup are a surprisingly lovely treat.

It’s the sort of recipe that I’d be delighted to see on a breakfast menu at a restaurant, since I’m always up for trying new things. And the bacon… yep, bacon is a must. Make extra and be generous with it, because a little bit of bacon (or a lot) always makes everything taste incredible as far as I’m concerned. #BaconLoversUnite
