2 16 oz packages of FARMER JOHN® Thick-Cut Bacon, cooked and cut in half
Maple syrup
DIRECTIONS:
Waffles:
Sift flour, powdered sugar, baking soda and baking powder into a large bowl. Stir in salt.
Add buttermilk, butter and egg whites. Whisk until combined. Some lumps are fine, do not over beat.
In a 7-inch round Belgian waffle iron heated on medium low, ladle about 1 ½ cups batter into the iron. You want it to fill up the whole iron to make nice slider buns. Cook until waffle is golden brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes.
Break off cooked waffles into quarters and keep warm in a 200 °F oven until ready to serve.
Patties:
Combine ground pork, egg and soaked bread in a large mixing bowl.
In a separate small bowl, stir salt, pepper, sage, thyme and maple seasoning.
Combine half the amount of the spices into the pork mixture.
Shape 2-ounce patties into balls and flatten slightly, making an indent with your thumb in the center. Repeat until all are formed.
Season with remaining rub and sear in a skillet on medium heat. Cook until internal temperature reaches 160 °F. If the patties get too dark, continue cooking in a 400 °F
Assembly:
Lay one waffle slider bun down and drizzle with some maple syrup, lay 2 strips bacon down, a patty, waffle slider bun and 2 more strips of bacon. Secure with skewer. Drizzle more maple syrup over the slider.
Assemble remaining sliders and serve warm.
