Instructions
  1. 1
    Cold-smoke pecans for 2 hours (Hickory or Apple Wood), then toast briefly in a pan for crunch. Chop them coarsely.
  2. 2

    Wet Mix: Separate the eggs. Whisk the 2 egg yolks with the buttermilk, 1/4​ cup maple syrup, and melted butter.
  4. 4
    Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in the chopped, smoked pecans.
  5. 5
    Beat the 2 egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whites into the batter until no streaks remain.
  6. 6
    Preheat your waffle iron. Pour the batter onto the hot iron and cook until golden brown and crispy.

    Top the hot waffle with a generous drizzle of the warm Maple Brown Butter Sauce. Finish with a dollop of Maple Whipped Cream and a liberal sprinkle of Maple Candied Bacon Crumbles.

    Bake thick-cut bacon, brushing heavily with maple syrup halfway through, until shatteringly crisp. Cool and crumble.
