Ingredients
- 1-1/2 cups Kodiak Buttermilk Power Cakes Flapjack & Waffle Mix
- 1 cup water or milk
- 1⁄2 wheel of Brie
- 4 slices bacon, sliced into small strips
- 3 shallots, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup cranberries
- 1⁄3 cup brown sugar
- Pinch of salt
- Thyme sprigs, to garnish
Directions
- Whisk together the Kodiak mix and water (or milk) in a medium sized mixing bowl to make a smooth batter. Let rest for 5 minutes.
- Preheat a griddle or skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook about 24 bite-sized flapjacks over the preheated griddle until golden brown, and place on a serving platter.
Make the bacon jam:
- Heat a skillet to medium-high and add the bacon. Sauté until liquids start to release and add the shallots. Sauté until bacon is caramelized and shallots are soft.
- Add the brown sugar, salt, and cranberries. Sauté until the cranberries are soft and the mixture is glossy and thick, like jam. Remove from heat.
- Cut the Brie into 1⁄2” slices. Cut the slices into 1” wide strips.
- Top each mini flapjack with a square of Brie.
- Spoon a 1⁄2 tablespoon of bacon jam on top of the Brie.
- Garnish each waffle with a sprig of thyme. Serve warm or at room temperature.
