Cook the Bacon: Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until it's crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Once cooled, crumble or chop the bacon into small pieces.
Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk the buttermilk and egg until well combined. Then, slowly pour in the melted butter while whisking continuously.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. It's okay if there are a few lumps in the batter. Don't overmix.
Add Bacon: Fold the crumbled bacon into the pancake batter.
Cook Pancakes: Heat a lightly greased skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon to spread the batter into a round shape if needed.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Garnish with chopped parsley on top.
Serve: Serve the bacon pancakes warm with your favorite sauce. Enjoy!
