Cook the bacon according to package instructions, for this recipe I cook it slightly crispier. Set the cooked bacon on paper towels to drain and reserve a little of the bacon grease to cook the pancakes in.

In a medium bowl whisk together the egg, oil, and milk. In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder. Combine the wet and dry ingredients and mix well.

Finely chop 4 of the cooked strips of bacon and mix the chopped bacon into the pancake mix.

Heat the skillet used for the bacon to medium heat. Place a couple strips of bacon on the skillet, pour some of the pancake batter over each strip of bacon, just enough to cover each one individually.

Cook the pancakes until bubbles begin to form on the top and flip each pancake. Continue to cook until the pancakes are golden on each side. Repeat with the remaining stirps of bacon and pancake batter.

Serve fresh with butter and maple syrup!
