Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs (1 for batter, 1 cooked to order)
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter (2 tbsp melted for batter, 1 tbsp for griddle)
  • 4 strips thick-cut bacon
  • 4 pork breakfast sausage links
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Whisk the dry ingredients together, then whisk the wet ingredients separately, combine them with 10 to 12 strokes, and let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
  2. Cook the 4 bacon strips in a cold skillet over medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes per side until deep amber and crisp, then set aside and keep the drippings.
  3. Add the 4 sausage links to the drippings over medium heat and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, turning every 2 minutes, until the internal temperature reads 160°F (71°C).
  4. Heat a griddle over medium heat with 1 tbsp butter, pour 1/3 cup batter per pancake, cook for 3 minutes until bubbles form, flip, and cook for 2 more minutes until golden. Hold finished pancakes in a 200°F (93°C) oven.
  5. In the same skillet over medium-low heat, fry the 1 egg for 3 to 4 minutes for sunny side up or flip for 30 seconds for over easy. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Plate 2 pancakes, 2 sausage links, 2 bacon strips, and the egg. Add a pat of butter to the hot pancakes and serve with warm maple syrup alongside.

Notes

Everything here cooks faster than you expect once the skillet is properly hot, so have your plates ready before you crack the egg. If you're cooking for 4 people, start a second skillet for the eggs so no one waits. Leftover pancakes reheat well in a toaster the next morning.
