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

½ cup Fresh Mixed Berries, for serving
For the Bourbon Maple Syrup

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!
