Bacon Kimchi Pancakes Recipes

Steps:

• In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, cook bacon, flipping once, until just beginning to crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Whisk together eggs, 1/3 cup water, 2 tablespoons kimchi juice, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil; stir in kimchi, scallions, and flour just to combine.
• Remove bacon fat from skillet. Add oil; heat over medium. Working in two batches, pour about 1/2 cup batter into skillet for each pancake; top each with 3 pieces of bacon. Cook until just set around edges and undersides are golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook 1 to 2 minutes more.
• Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet lined with a wire rack. Stir together remaining 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 2 tablespoons kimchi juice, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Serve pancakes with bok choy and cucumbers, drizzled with soy mixture.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees. In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, melted butter, and egg. Whisk flour mixture into buttermilk mixture just until moistened, with small to medium lumps remaining.
• In a large cast-iron or nonstick skillet or on a griddle, cook bacon over medium-high until fat is rendered and bacon is browned on one side, 5 to 6 minutes. Flip and cook until golden and crisp on underside, 1 to 3 minutes. Drain bacon on paper towels; pour off all but 1 teaspoon fat from skillet (reserve for another use).
• Heat skillet over medium. Pour 1/4-cupfuls batter into skillet and top each with a bacon slice. Cook until some bubbles appear on top of pancakes and a few have burst, about 2 minutes. With a spatula, carefully flip pancakes and cook until browned on underside, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a platter, bacon side up, and loosely tent with foil. Keep pancakes warm in oven and repeat with remaining batter, adding more bacon fat if needed. Serve with pure maple syrup, if desired.
