Sunday Microwave Brunch

Sunday mornings have always been a relaxing affair for us here in Storrs but not this one. Today we're so excited because we're making bacon and pancakes... In the microwave! Let's get started:

Sunday Morning Brunch

Ingredients:
-1 package of bacon
-your favorite pancake mix (we used bisquick shake and pour)


The Bacon:
Lay two paper towels on a microwave safe plate. Put 4 or 5 strips of bacon on the plate without overlapping them. Put another two paper towels on top. Nuke for 3:30 (for 4 strips) or 4:30 (for 5 strips). Be careful, the grease will be extraordinarily hot!

Bacon Love

The Pancakes:
Start off with your favorite pancake mix (or recipe if you have one). Pour enough batter for one pancake onto an ungreased microwave safe plate. Nuke for 1 minute to 1 minute and 20 seconds depending on the strength of your microwave and the size of your pancake. There's no need to flip it. You know it's done when it comes off the plate easily. 
Note: to avoid stuck on pancakes like this...

Pancake Fail

... Rinse off your plate between each use.


The bacon turns out surprisingly crispy. We suggest patting your strips after they've cooled a little (but still warm) so they don't get soggy with the grease. The pancakes came out a bit thin but still full of pancakey-goodness. It would be exceedingly simple to disperse your batter a little more and make crepes. To round out this breakfast so it looks just as tasty as it does in the picture try our 2 Minute Eggs recipe. Add OJ and enjoy!

Let's admire it again... So tasty...

So until next time, friends, keep cooking and remember:


No kitchen, no problem!
