Instructions

1
fritar

Prepare the delicious bacon component: fry 400g of ground bacon in a skillet with a drizzle of oil over medium-low heat until golden brown, creating a crispy crumb texture (farofa). Set aside the rendered fat (for later use) and the bacon bits.

10min

Dica: Use a cast-iron skillet for rendering the bacon.

2
fritar

In a separate griddle or skillet, fry 150g of bacon slices for about 1.5 to 2 minutes per side until very crispy. Remove and set aside on paper towels.

5min

Dica: The slices should reduce to half their original size.

3
misturar

Prepare the dry batter ingredients: sift the all-purpose flour and mix with baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.

1min

Dica: Be precise with the small amounts of baking soda.

4
misturar

Add the sugar, the two egg yolks, the milk, four tablespoons of the reserved bacon grease, and the bacon bits over the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined, without overbeating.

2min

Dica: The batter should be mixed just until the ingredients come together.

5
bater

In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.

3min

Dica: The egg whites should be stiff enough that when you invert the bowl, they do not fall out.

6
dobrar (fold)

Gently fold the stiff egg whites into the batter (the mix of dry and wet ingredients) using a 'folding' technique (gentle movements from bottom to top) to maintain aeration.

1min 30s

Dica: Avoid breaking the meringue to ensure the pancake is light and fluffy.

7
fritar

Heat the griddle or skillet, adding a little more bacon grease. Pour the batter (about 1/3 cup per pancake) and cook for 2.5 to 3 minutes, or until bubbles form on top and the edges are golden brown.

3min 30s

Dica: The batter yields about six medium/large pancakes.

8
fritar

Flip the pancakes and cook for another two minutes. Check for internal doneness and remove when they are completely dry in the center.

2min
9
derreter

Prepare the salted caramel: In the same skillet used to fry the ground bacon, melt 200g of granulated sugar over medium-low heat until a uniform golden color is achieved.

5min

Dica: Be careful not to burn the sugar.

10
misturar

Add 100g of cold unsalted butter to the caramelized mixture, whisking vigorously with a whisk until incorporated. Next, add 100ml of heavy cream, continuing to stir as the mixture bubbles.

3min

Dica: The heavy cream will cause an intense bubbling reaction.

11
misturar

Turn off the heat for the caramel. Stir in one shot of Jack Daniels Tennessee Honey and half a teaspoon of flaky salt. Mix well and set aside to cool slightly.

1min 30s
12
montar

Assemble the dish: Spoon a portion of the Jack Honey caramel onto the bottom. Stack one pancake, brush the surface with more caramel, add 2 to 3 slices of the reserved crispy bacon, top with another pancake, and repeat the process. Finish the stack with caramel, a slice of butter, and pieces of fried bacon on top.

5min

Dica: It is recommended to assemble stacks of no more than 3 layers for better stability.

13
preparar

For the side drink, prepare the Jack Honey Lemonade: Fill a glass with ice, add 50ml of Jack Daniels Tennessee Honey, 30ml of freshly squeezed lime juice, and top with 100ml of lemon-lime soda. Stir gently and garnish with a lime wheel.

3min

Dica: Make a toast and enjoy.
