You may have had bacon with pancakes, but have you ever had bacon burnt ends with them? Who doesn’t love a good sweet-and-savory combination for breakfast? This recipe doesn’t just call for burnt ends atop your flapjacks, though. I like to chop the burnt ends and put them in the pancake batter so every bite contains that sweet, smoky pork belly flavor with hints of Mexican vanilla from the agave syrup. Try this recipe and you won’t go back to regular cured bacon with your pancakes—I promise
