Cook bacon in a large cast iron skillet or griddle over medium heat until crispy, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Reserve 2 tbsp bacon fat in the pan.
Break bacon into rough pieces. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula until just combined - lumps are fine. Don't overmix or pancakes will be tough.
Heat the same skillet with reserved bacon fat over medium-low heat. Add 1 tbsp butter and let it melt.
Pour about 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto the griddle. Sprinkle a few bacon pieces on each pancake while cooking.
Cook until bubbles form and pop on the surface, and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip carefully and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer to a plate and keep warm in a 200°F oven. Repeat with remaining batter, adding butter to the griddle as needed.
Serve pancakes stacked with whipped butter between layers, extra bacon pieces on top, and warm maple syrup drizzled over everything.
Fresh berries on the side add a nice bright contrast to the rich, sweet, salty pancakes.
Keep pancakes warm in a 200°F oven while cooking the rest - serve all at once at perfect temperature.
The moment bubbles pop and edges look set - that's your flip signal. Wait too long and they'll be dry.
Maple syrup mixed with butter and a pinch of salt makes an incredible glaze - brush it on while pancakes are hot.
