Cut the bacon into small bits using a knife.

Heat a saucepan on medium heat and bring whiskey and maple syrup to a rolling boil in a 3 to 1 ratio.

In a frying pan, cook the bacon bits on high heat until crispy, keeping the bacon fat in the pan.

Simmer the whiskey maple syrup for about 10-15 minutes until reduced.

Remove the cooked bacon from the pan to avoid grease interfering with dry ingredients.

In a bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and butter.

Add 1 egg and some milk to the dry ingredients to achieve the right consistency, then stir.

Mix in the cooked bacon bits into the pancake batter.

Use the reserved bacon grease in the frying pan to cook the pancakes.

Cook the pancakes until bubbles form on the surface or check the underside for doneness before flipping.
