Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding shredded cheese or chopped green onions to the batter. If you're out of Bisquick, you can make a homemade baking mix using flour, baking powder, and salt. For a smoky twist, try using maple bacon instead of regular bacon. Make sure the bacon is fried crisp to ensure it crumbles easily and integrates well into the batter.
