FOR THE BACON BOURBON BUTTER:
6 slices Thick Cut Bacon, Cut Into 1/2 Inch Pieces
4 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, Softened At Room Temperature
1 Tablespoon Bacon Fat
1 teaspoon Maple Syrup
1 teaspoon Bourbon
FOR THE PANCAKES:
1 cup All-purpose Flour
2 Tablespoons Light Brown Sugar, Packed
2 teaspoons Baking Powder
1/4 teaspoons Salt
1/4 teaspoons Cinnamon
1/8 teaspoons Freshly Grated Nutmeg
1/8 teaspoons Ground Ginger
1 dash Ground Cloves
1 dash Ground Allspice
6 Tablespoons Pumpkin Puree
1 whole Egg, Beaten
1 cup Milk
2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, Melted Plus Additional For Greasing Pan
1 dash Vanilla Extract

1
Add bacon to a large, cold nonstick pan, turn heat to medium and cook 8-12 minutes, stirring frequently, until crisp. Reduce heat to medium-low if needed to prevent burning. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, and reserve 1 tablespoon of bacon fat. Mix together butter, bacon fat, maple syrup, bourbon and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Refrigerate until firm.
2
For pancakes, combine dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, allspice) in a large bowl. Combine remaining ingredients in a separate bowl. Whisk wet ingredients into dry ingredients until just combined. Do not over-mix. Let batter rest for 15 minutes.
3
Heat a large, nonstick pan or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease pan with butter. Scoop 1/4 cup of batter onto pan for each pancake. Flip when bubbles form around entire surface and pancake becomes lightly browned, about 1-2 minutes. Cook another 1 minute or so, or until lightly browned on reverse side and pancake rises slightly. Repeat with remaining batter.
4
Serve with warm maple syrup and bacon bourbon butter. Enjoy.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
