Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a second bowl.
Then fold dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until everything is smooth.
Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners and spray it lightly with cooking spray.
Fill each one halfway with pancake batter.
Bake the pancakes muffins at 350 for 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
When a toothpick comes out clean, remove it from the oven and let it cool.
Fit a piping bag with a 1M tip with icing.
Pipe icing on top of each muffin.
Crumble 6 slices of crisply cooked bacon, and top each muffin with bacon crumbles, and half a slice of bacon.

Serve and enjoy!
