Instructions

1. 1

   Combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 0.5 cup buttermilk, 1 large egg, 0.5 teaspoon salt, and 0.25 teaspoon black pepper in a large bowl and mix until just combined, then cover and let ferment at room temperature for 4 hours.

2. 2

   After fermentation, grate 1 large sweet potato into the batter, add 1 teaspoon baking powder, and gently fold until evenly distributed.

3. 3

   Heat 0.5 cup vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

4. 4

   Drop the batter by 2-tablespoon portions into the hot oil, flattening slightly, and fry for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through, working in batches.

5. 5

   While fritters cook, prepare the glaze by whisking together 0.25 cup maple syrup, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, and 0.5 teaspoon Dijon mustard in a small saucepan over medium heat until it gently simmers and slightly thickens, about 3 minutes.

6. 6

   Remove the glaze from heat and stir in 2 strips of cooked and crumbled bacon.

7. 7

   Serve the warm sweet potato fritters immediately, drizzled generously with the maple-bacon glaze.
