Ingredients
- 8 Slices Bacon
- 4 tsp Sweet Applewood Barbecue Rub & Seasoning
- 1 cup Flour
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- ½ tsp Baking Soda
- ¼ tsp Smokey Bacon Infused Sea Salt
- 1 Tbsp Maple Syrup
- ¾ cup Buttermilk
- 3 Tbsp Maple-Wood Smoked Bacon Infused Olive Oil
- 1 Egg
- ½ cup Fresh Mixed Berries, for serving
- ¾ cup Maple Syrup
- 2 Tbsp Bourbon Barrel Aged Balsamic
- 1 Tbsp Bourbon, optional
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with foil.
- Season each slice of bacon with ½ tsp Sweet Applewood Barbecue Rub & Seasoning. Cook for 15 minutes, flip bacon, then cook for another 10 minutes. Drain on a paper-towel lined plate then chop into small pieces, reserving 2 slices of bacon for topping.
- In a small bowl combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and Smokey Bacon Infused Sea Salt.
- In a medium bowl combine the maple syrup, buttermilk, Maple-Wood Smoked Bacon Infused Olive Oil, and egg. Whisk until well combined.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk until just combined, careful not to overmix. Carefully fold in the remaining 6 slices of candied Bacon. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
- Heat a waffle iron and grease. Pour ⅓ cup - ½ cup batter into the waffle iron and follow manufacturer instructions for cooking.
- Meanwhile, in a small pot over medium-heat, combine the maple syrup, Bourbon Barrel Aged Balsamic, and bourbon. Once bubbling, reduce heat to low and keep warm until ready to serve.
- Serve waffles with reserved bacon, fresh berries, and warm bourbon syrup. Enjoy!
