These are AH-MAY-ZING! Pears+ginger+maple syrup+bacon! SAY WHAT?!

Please understand my enthusiasm is not for nothing.

These pancakes are simply thee best if I can say so myself *pats myself on the back* and without wasting any more of your precious time here’s all you need.

 

Pancakes

2 Cups Buttermilk (Add Water Only) Pancake Mix

1 cooked sweet potato mashed

1 cup water

1 teaspoon cinnamon

2 Tablespoons brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

Maple Topping

2 pears

3 – 4 slices of thick Apple wood Bacon

2/3 cup maple syrup

1 Teaspoon Ground ginger

1 Tablespoon butter

For Pancakes

With the electric mixer beat together the pancake mix, sweet potato, water, cinnamon, brown sugar, and vanilla.

Beat until smooth and well incorporated.

This mix is a bit thick but this is perfect, you want your pancakes nice and fluffy.

Cook pancakes on skillet as you normally would.

For Topping

Take core out of pear and chop them up into small cubes.

Now cut up bacon into small bits and add to cold skillet, in one even layer.

Turn bacon on medium high heat.

Cook bacon until brown and crisp and add pears into the pan with all of the rendered bacon fat and crispy bacon bits.

Make sure you get a nice brown sear on the pears and mix everything up well.

Add ground ginger and maple syrup, and mix in butter.

Turn heat all the way down to low and put top on pan.

Let simmer for about 5 minutes.

Turn off heat and pour all of this sweet and savory goodness onto you sweet potato pancakes.
