"I've had a long-term fondness for flavored butters .. AND .. I'm often drawn to parts of recipes. These 2 weaknesses collided when I found a waffle recipe that included this simple, but tempting butter at goodfooddotcomdotau. (Time does not include the time to crisp cook the bacon) ENJOY!"

Step 2

Serving Suggestions: Besides the obvious breakfast items like French toast, pancakes & waffles ... This would work very well on toast, bagels, English muffins & even oatmeal. I could go on, but I'm sure you get the idea or have others of your own in mind. :-)

  • Be sure to use softened butter for best results.
  • Adjust the amount of maple syrup for desired sweetness.

  • Substitute honey for the maple syrup - Honey has a more subtle sweetness than maple syrup, and can be a great way to reduce the sweetness of the butter without sacrificing flavor.
  • Substitute turkey bacon for the pork bacon - Turkey bacon has less fat and fewer calories than pork bacon, making it a healthier alternative for those watching their dietary intake.

Garlic Bacon Butter Follow the same steps as above, but add 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder to the butter and maple syrup before whipping.
