Recipe: Bacon-Pancake Dippers
FATHER'S DAY SPECIAL

Make the special father in your life a manly breakfast with these pancake dippers with a special surprise inside. These salty-sweet treats are great for a Father's Day breakfast in bed.

Ingredients:

1 cup all purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup shortening, melted
12 slices bacon, cooked

Preparation:

1) In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Combine the egg, milk and shortening; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. (If you want something quicker you can always use instant pancake mix)

2) Pour batter into an easy to use squeeze bottle. Such as an empty, clean ketchup bottle.

3) Squirt some batter in a long oval shape, it should be slightly longer and wider than the bacon. Place a slice of cooked bacon into the center, lightly pressing bacon into the batter.

4) Squeeze more batter over the bacon. Once the edges become dry and bubbles start to appear and pop, carefully flip.
