Pumpkin Pancakes With Bacon Bourbon Butter

• 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.
