Cornmeal Pancakes

1. Make the pancake batter: Preheat oven to 300°F. In a large mixing bowl whisk together the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking soda and salt). Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients, then add the wet ingredients to the center (butter, eggs and buttermilk). Whisk until batter is smooth and creamy. Let batter sit for at least 10 minutes before cooking.
2. Make the pancakes: Melt butter on a griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Scoop 1/2 cup batter per pancake and cook for 2 minutes per side (flip when you see small bubbles forming). Transfer the cooked pancakes to a large baking sheet, cover and set aside.

Mushroom Sausage Gravy

1. Cook the sausage: Preheat oven to 450°F. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook until no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
2. Cook down the mushrooms: Add the butter, shallot, mushrooms, garlic, walnuts and sage then give it a good stir. Season with salt and pepper. Allow the mixture to cook for about 5 minutes until the mushrooms have softened. Add the flour, then mix well until no white spots are visible. 
3. Add the liquids: Pour the chicken broth and milk into the skillet then bring the mixture to a boil, stirring well. Let the gravy simmer on low heat for 10 minutes until you’ve reached your desired gravy thickness. Keep the skillet on low heat until you are ready to serve.

Bacon & Eggs

1. Cook the bacon: Arrange the bacon on a large rimmed baking sheet in a single layer. Cook the bacon in the oven for 8 minutes until some of the fat begins to render. 
2. Cook the eggs: Remove the baking sheet from the oven then flip the bacon. Move the bacon to one side of the baking sheet. Crack the eggs over the bacon grease on the other half of the baking sheet. Cook in the oven for about 5 minutes, until the whites are just set and the yolks are still runny.
3. Assemble the tacos: Take a cornmeal pancake then top with 1 strip of bacon and 1 fried egg. Finish with a scoop of gravy and a garnish of fresh chives. Don’t forget to dip in some maple syrup for the ultimate pancake taco experience!
