Pig in a Pancake

Pig in a Pancake

The bacon has to be crisp before it lands in the pancake batter, where its salty edge meets melting chocolate. Served upside down with warm caramel, this stack gleefully crosses breakfast with dessert.

Butter Club Notes

This pancake knows exactly what it is: sweet, salty, messy, and absolutely not pretending to be health food. The bacon has to be cooked crisp before it goes into the pancake, otherwise it gets chewy and loses the whole point. Once the pancake flips, the chocolate softens against the griddle and the bacon gets one more shot of heat, which makes the whole thing taste like breakfast and dessert landed on the same plate. Caramel, chocolate drizzle, whipped cream, and extra bacon finish the job.
