Ingredients

Mancakes

  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup corn starch
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 (12oz) bottle favorite beer
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar
  • 2 tablespoon chives

Maple Bacon Syrup

  • 1 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 6 slices of bacon

Instructions

  1. Sprinkle 1/2 of the brown sugar over the bacon strips.
  2. In a 12-inch skillet over medium heat cook the bacon, in batches if necessary, flipping occasionally, until very crisp, 8 to 10 minutes.
  3. Drain the bacon on a paper-towel-lined plate. Reserve the bacon fat in a small bowl and save the rest for another use.
  4. When the bacon is cool, chop into small pieces.
  5. In a 2-quart saucepan, heat the syrup and bacon crumbs over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until hot, about 5 minutes.
  6. Remove from the heat and let the syrup sit in the pan and infuse for at least 10 minutes and up to 1 hour.
  7. Combine flour, baking soda, corn starch, salt and pepper in a mixing bowl.
  8. Add the beer and egg mixing constantly. If the mixture seems too thick, adjust consistency by adding more beer.
  9. Add in the cheese and chives.
  10. Allow to rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
  11. Lightly spray a grill pan with cooking spray.
  12. Set the heat to medium-low.
  13. Pour in about a 1/3 cup of the batter to the pan (you can add more as it depends on the size of your pan). Just note that the batter will spread out some. As it cooks it will rise.
  14. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until desired crispness. *NOTE: You’ll know when to flip it as air bubbles will form on the top of the pancake and the edges will firm up.
  15. Drizzle with Maple Bacon Syrup.
