Directions:
Cook up the Wright Brand Naturally Smoked Hickory Bacon via the method of choice; microwave, stove, or even baked in the oven! I pan cooked mine today to save my bacon grease for another cause. Whip up your pancake batter accordingly. Set a large skillet over a medium heat and lightly coat it with non-stick cooking spray. When the pan is warmed up, working in twos if you can, scoop not quite 1/4 C. of the batter out in a long 'strip' like shape, followed by another. Place a strip of the cooked Wright Brand Naturally Smoked Hickory Bacon into each strip of batter, pressing the bacon in slightly. Top each with almost another 1/4 C. of the batter to cover the Wright Brand Naturally Smoked Hickory Bacon. Allow each to cook until browned on the underside, then carefully flip using a spatula and grace. Continue to cook until the second side is browned and the batter is cooked through. Once done, remove to a warmed plate and serve right away. Rinse and repeat with the remaining batter and Wright Brand Naturally Smoked Hickory Bacon!
