In a separate bowl, whisk together wet ingredients (buttermilk, melted butter, and egg).
Whisk dry and wet mixtures together until moistened, with small to medium lumps.
Cook bacon on a griddle over medium-high until both sides are golden and crisp. Drain bacon on paper towels; reserving about 1 teaspoon fat from griddle.
Add batter, half a cup at a time, to a skillet over medium heat. Top with a slice of bacon.
Cook for about 2 minutes on each side until golden. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more bacon fat if needed.
Serve bacon side up, topped with maple syrup.
