Instructions

1.
**Prepare the Pancake Batter:** In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
2.
**Cook the Bacon:** Place the bacon strips in a cold skillet. Cook over medium heat, turning occasionally, until crispy and cooked through. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
3.
**Cook the Eggs:** Choose your preferred cooking method: scrambled, fried, or over easy. For scrambled: Whisk eggs with a splash of milk or cream and cook in a skillet with butter or oil over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until set but still slightly moist. For fried/over easy: Heat butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat. Crack eggs into the skillet and cook to your desired doneness. For over easy, flip briefly to cook the yolk slightly.
4.
**Cook the Pancakes:** Heat a lightly oiled griddle or skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
5.
**Serve:** Serve the pancakes warm with maple syrup, bacon, and eggs. Garnish with fresh fruit, if desired.

Chef's Tips

Don't overmix the pancake batter! Overmixing will result in tough pancakes.

Preheat the griddle or skillet properly before cooking the pancakes to ensure even cooking and browning.

Keep the cooked bacon warm in a low oven (200°F) until ready to serve.

For fluffier pancakes, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking.
