Servings: 9
Ingredients
- 1 pound bacon
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup milk
- 6 eggs
- 1/4 stick butter
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Cook: Cook the bacon and pour the drippings into a small pitcher.
- Preheat: Preheat the oven to 425 F degrees.
- Whisk: In a medium pitcher, whisk the flour and milk together. Whisk in one egg at a time. Let rest at room temperature while you prepare the fat.
- Melt: Set 9 ceramic bowls on top of a large cookie sheet. Place ½ pat of butter into each bowl. Pour bacon grease on top, distributing the fat evenly in each bowl. Place the pan into the oven until the fat is melted.
- Pour: Remove the pan from the oven and evenly pour the batter into the bowls. Return the pan to the oven. Bake for 15-17 minutes.
- Serve: Serve with a pinch of salt…or syrup if you must.
Notes
Instead of the bacon grease, you can just use all butter. If you do that, use 1/2 cup (1 stick) of butter.
You can also bake this in a 13x9 baking dish.
