Prepare simple pancake batter by adding water to it.

Turn the heat to a higher setting for cooking the pancakes.

Sprinkle the chopped bacon sausage over the pancake batter as it cooks, similar to how you would add blueberries.

Make the pancakes smaller than usual to make flipping easier due to the weight of the sausage.
