#SYRUP BACON HOW TO#

If you are making your bacon in a skillet, remove the bacon and drain the fat from the skillet. You’ll need those 2-3 slices to be cooked but not at an almost-burnt stage to get the best bacon flavor in your maple syrup. I’m assuming that if you’re making bacon for this, you’re making a little extra. Do what works for you based on what you have.īUT if you like your bacon super crispy, pull 2-3 slices at the “just crispy” stage and not the almost-burnt crispy stage. To save time, you could probably even use pre-cooked bacon strips too. As long as you get your bacon to a temperature where it’s considered to be cooked, you’re good. You just can’t put raw bacon in maple syrup, so you need to cook it to a safe temperature first. How you cook the bacon doesn’t really matter. To make the bacon-infused maple syrup, you start by cooking the bacon in a skillet or by baking in the oven. The whole process only takes about 2 minutes though, so it’s not a bad trade-off. Since we don’t want to wait, it’s not quite as simple as making vanilla extract. If the thought of infusing anything sounds involved, don’t fret! The process is actually really simple. Extra syrup keeps for a month in the refrigerator, so you have plenty of time to use it! Bacon infused maple syrup works equally well on pancakes or french toast as it does in lattes, so you’re not limited to a single dish anyway. Start with a little, then add more syrup as needed. The recipe as written will make between 4-8 lattes depending on how sweet you like your coffee. Second, you can scale it to make just what you need. First, you may already have everything on hand. That’s wonderful, but if you’re like me, you hesitate to buy a bottle of something when you just want to use it occasionally! That’s the beauty of this recipe. It’s possible, that somewhere out there in internet-land, a pre-made flavored syrup exists. Thankfully, it was easier than even I anticipated, and now we can all enjoy a maple bacon latte at home… just in time for cardigan weather! Not really wanting to wait a year or so between accidental bacon latte discoveries, this recipe was created. At least, that’s the only place I’ve found them, always on trips, paired with a cozy breakfast on mornings that need cardigans. Maple bacon lattes seem to be a drink found in independently owned coffee shops that also sell fantastic biscuits.
