Ingredients

1 cup flour

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup + 2 tablespoons Guinness or other Irish stout

1 egg

1/4 cup sugar

2 tablespoons butter, melted

4 strips bacon, cut into 1/2 inch pieces and cooked (optional)

1/2 cup heavy/whipping cream, whipped with 1/4 cup sugar

1/2 cup Guinness chocolate syrup

Directions

Mix the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.

Mix the Guinness, egg and butter in another large bowl.

Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients along with the bacon.

Heat a pan over medium heat and melt a touch of butter (or bacon grease) in it.

Pour 1/4 cup of the mixture into the pan and cook until the surface starts to bubble and the bottom is golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

Flip the pancake and cook the other side until the bottom is golden brown, about 1-2 minutes. Repeat for the remaining batter.

Serve in a stack topped with a head of frothy whipped cream and Guinness chocolate syrup.
