How to Make Breakfast for Dinner

Ingredients:

  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup of milk
  • 1 cup of flour
  • 2 tablespoons of sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of baking powder
  • A pinch of salt
  • 4 slices of bacon
  • 2 tablespoons of butter
  • Maple syrup for serving (optional)

Directions:

  1. Cook the bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Once done, set it aside on a paper towel to drain the excess fat.
  2. Mix the batter: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In another bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Combine both mixtures until you have a smooth batter.
  3. Cook the pancakes: Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Pour ¼ cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  4. Serve it up: Stack the pancakes on a plate and top them with crispy bacon. Drizzle with maple syrup if you like.

How to Serve Breakfast for Dinner

Serve your breakfast for dinner hot off the skillet! You can arrange the pancakes on a plate with bacon on the side. If you want, you can add fresh fruit, yogurt, or whipped cream to make it even more delightful.

How to Store Breakfast for Dinner

If you have leftovers, let the pancakes cool completely. Place them in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can reheat them in the microwave or on a skillet before serving.

Tips to Make Breakfast for Dinner

  • Use buttermilk instead of regular milk for fluffier pancakes.
  • Add chocolate chips or berries to the batter for an extra treat.
  • Make sure your skillet is hot enough before pouring the batter to ensure the pancakes cook evenly.

Variation

Feel free to switch up the recipe! You could make a breakfast burrito using scrambled eggs, sausages, and cheese wrapped in a tortilla. Another option is to add vegetables like spinach or bell peppers for an omelette.

FAQs

1. Can I use a pancake mix?
Yes, you can! Just follow the instructions on the package for the amount of water or milk needed.

2. How do I know when the pancakes are done?
Look for bubbles on the surface of the pancake. When they pop and leave holes, it’s time to flip!

3. Can I make this dish ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the batter in advance and cook the pancakes when you’re ready to serve.

Enjoy your delicious breakfast for dinner, and relish the cozy flavors that bring happiness to your table!
