Instructions

How to Make Maple Fixx Pancakes

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and Maple Fixx.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly butter the surface.
  5. Pour batter into the pan and cook until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook until golden brown.
  6. Repeat with remaining batter and keep pancakes warm while cooking.

How to Make Maple Glazed Bacon

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Arrange bacon strips on a wire rack set over a baking sheet.
  3. Sprinkle each strip with Maple Fixx and add a light sprinkle of black pepper.
  4. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until bacon is crisp and caramelized.
  5. For extra flavour, brush lightly with more Maple Fixx immediately after baking.

Serving Suggestions

Stack the pancakes and top with butter and an extra drizzle of Maple Fixx. Serve alongside the maple glazed bacon for a complete breakfast that balances sweetness with a savoury finish.

Optional additions:

  • Fresh berries
  • Whipped cream
  • Crispy breakfast potatoes
  • Soft scrambled eggs

Tips for Best Results

  • Do not overmix pancake batter; a few lumps will keep pancakes light and fluffy.
  • Use a wire rack for bacon to ensure even cooking and crisp texture.
  • Warm the Maple Fixx slightly before serving for easier pouring.

Why This Recipe Works

This recipe combines two breakfast favourites with a consistent maple flavour throughout. The pancakes are soft and lightly spiced, while the bacon adds a crisp, savoury contrast with a subtle sweetness. It’s a well-balanced meal that feels special without being complicated.
