What you will need
This recipe uses 9 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 1.5 cups all purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 whole eggs
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 6 strips bacon
- 4 whole eggs
- 3 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Cook the Bacon
Cook bacon strips in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate and set aside. Reserve one tablespoon of bacon drippings.
Step 2: Make the Pancake Batter
Whisk flour and baking powder together in a bowl. In a separate bowl whisk milk, eggs, and melted butter. Combine wet and dry ingredients until just mixed. Do not over stir the batter.
Step 3: Cook the Pancakes
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease. Pour 3 inch rounds of batter and cook until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook the other side for one more minute.
Step 4: Scramble the Eggs
Whisk the filling eggs with a pinch of salt. Cook in the reserved bacon drippings over low heat, stirring gently until soft curds form. Remove from heat while still slightly glossy.
Step 5: Assemble the Tacos
Fold each warm pancake into a taco shape. Fill with scrambled eggs, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar. Drizzle with maple syrup and serve immediately.
