Serving Suggestions:
* Serve with a drizzle of maple syrup or honey.
* Garnish with fresh berries or sliced bananas.
* Add a side of whipped cream or butter for extra decadence.
Tips:
* For crispier bacon, cook it in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until desired crispness.
* If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to 1 cup of milk.
* For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free flour blend.
* You can also add other ingredients to your pancakes, such as chocolate chips, nuts, or fruit.
