Today, I’d like you to meet Mary! She’s here to share a fantastic recipe that the kiddos will love and is super easy. We tried this recipe after Mary sent it to me and it’s a winner here. Plus, it’s harder for my kids to just eat bacon when the pancake is attached to it! Score! So, here’s Mary:

Hey y’all I’m so glad to be taking over for Krista today, while she gets used to being a new momma, again. I’m Mary, the girl behind, Eat Drink & Be Mary. You can often find me raving about a recipe I recently tried, an outfit I got a great deal on, or just a hodge podge of what’s on my mind lately.

So today I thought it’d be appropriate to share a recipe that your kids will love, considering I am taking over for a new (again) momma and all. And not only love, but they’ll have fun eating it too. And it’s super easy for you mommas to make, or if you’re like me–a 22 year old, who is still a child at heart.

My goal for this recipe? An easy meal for momma, and a fun meal for kids. What kid doesn’t love bacon and pancakes, and combining the two to make a finger food they can dip…sounds like a winner to me! Plus with mother’s day & father’s day coming up (both in less than 2 months; they’ll be here before you know it) these will make for a fun breakfast-in-bed meal where the kids can get it on all the fun. So without further adieu…

Bacon Pancake Dippers
idea for the recipe came from Pinterest

What you need:
+ Bacon
+ Bisquick
+ Milk
+ Eggs
+ Syrup
+Cookie Sheet, Wire Rack & Tin Foil

What to do:
+ Cook the bacon. I took a cookie sheet, covered it in tin foil, and placed a wire rack on top of the tin foil. This just makes for an easier clean up, and the bacon doesn’t sit in all that grease the entire time it’s cooking. I cooked the bacon in the oven for 20 minutes on 350. You can cook the bacon in the microwave, but this was just an easier way for me to do it & an easier clean up.

+ Make the pancake mix. I went for another easy route and simply made Bisquick pancakes, quick & easy is the goal right? I poured the mix into a measuring cup to help with pouring but a squeeze bottle would work well too.

+ Place the bacon in a pan, on low heat, pour pancake mix over them. Flip like you would for normal pancakes (1-2 min.)

*Break the bacon in half (no longer than 4 inches) because unless you are a master flipper your dippers will turn out looking like the picture below. Hey you win some, you lose some. But after my second attempt, with smaller bacon strips, I’d consider it a win.

+Serve on plate, with syrup to dip in. That’s it, it’s that simple.
