Bacon Blue Pancakes

Directions

1. 1
   Prepare bacon, making sure it is not too done. It needs to be cooked but still soft. Rinse blueberries and set on a paper towel to remove excess water.
2. 2
   Whisk together the egg whites and buttermilk in a small bowl. In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the melted butter. Combine the buttermilk mixture with the egg yolk mixture and whisk together until thoroughly combined.
3. 3
   In a separate bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients.
4. 4
   Pour the liquid ingredients on top of the dry ingredients. Using a whisk, mix the batter just enough to bring it together. I usually stir 10 times and no more. Don't try to work all the lumps out.
5. 5
   Heat a skillet and melt a bit of butter to grease the pan. Begin to prepare typical pancakes and after the batter is formed into a round shape, drop 4 to 5 blueberries and 4 to 5 pieces of bacon into each pancake. Flip, and cook the other side of the pancake.
6. 6
   Serve warm with syrup and/or fresh whipped cream (my favorite).
