Part 4/7:
In an unexpected twist, Chef Lippy introduces thick-cut bacon into his pancake-making process. He cooks the bacon on medium-low heat, rendering its fat to use later for cooking the pancakes. This bacon fat adds not only flavor but also a beautiful golden texture, making each pancake feel indulgent while also bringing a savory element to the sweet breakfast.
As he prepares to cook the pancakes, he ensures to scrape away any crispy bits left in the pan after removing the bacon. These little bits could burn and disrupt the perfect pancake texture.
