Campfire Bacon Pancakes

Making bacon pancakes over a campfire is a fun and delicious outdoor cooking idea. Here’s a basic guide on how you might go about it:

Ingredients:

• Pancake mix (pre-mixed or homemade)
• Bacon strips
• Maple syrup or your preferred pancake topping

Instructions:

• Prepare the pancake mix according to the instructions. If you’re using a pre-mixed batter, you might need to add water or milk and mix until you get a smooth consistency.
• Cook the bacon: You can cook the bacon directly on a campfire grate or using a pan or skillet. If you’re using a campfire, wait until you have a good bed of hot coals rather than open flames. Lay the bacon strips on the grate or in the pan and cook until they are crispy.
• Using the bacon grease: You can use some of the bacon grease to grease the cooking surface for your pancakes, just like you would with butter or oil. This will infuse the pancakes with a delicious smoky bacon flavor.
• Cook the pancakes: Pour pancake batter onto the cooked bacon in the pan or skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. This usually takes a couple of minutes. Flip the bacon pancakes and cook for an additional couple of minutes on the other side.
• Serve: Stack the bacon pancakes and drizzle maple syrup over the top for that classic sweet and savory combination.
• Enjoy your campfire bacon pancakes!

Remember to exercise caution while cooking over a campfire, and make sure to follow all safety guidelines to prevent accidents. Cooking bacon pancakes over a campfire can be a bit more challenging than using a stove or griddle, so some experimentation might be required to get the timing and temperature right.

Overall, it’s a fun and rewarding outdoor cooking experience that combines the joy of camping with the comfort of a hearty breakfast.
