In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the milk and melted butter. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, mixing until just smooth.

Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it. Pour the batter into the waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions until golden and crisp. Keep the waffles warm in a low oven.
Fry the Bacon:
In a large skillet over medium heat, fry the bacon until crispy. Drain on paper towels and keep warm.
12 rashers smoked bacon
