Cinnamon Pancakes with Candied Bacon

Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Arrange bacon on foil and sprinkle with brown sugar. Cook for 20 minutes, turning bacon halfway through cook time. Carefully remove pan from oven and set it on a rack. Let bacon cool completely before chopping.

In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and cinnamon. Make a well in the center of your dry ingredients and carefully mix in milk, eggs, butter and vanilla. Stir in chopped bacon, reserving a tablespoon for your topping.

Heat a griddle pan or a skillet over medium heat. Use some buttery spread to lightly grease your pan. Ladle about ¼ cup full of batter onto the griddle, fitting as many onto your griddle as can fit without crowding them. Brown pancakes on each side. Remove cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.

Serve with reserved bacon and syrup.
