Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

- Flip bacon again; brush with preserves; bake for 12 minutes.
- Remove bacon from oven and let cool.

- In a separate large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt; stir to combine.
- Pour buttermilk mixture into flour mixture; whisk until flour is incorporated.
- Grease a 9×13 inch cake pan.
- Pour batter into prepared cake pan and spread.
- Sprinkle cheese over batter, pressing it down.
- Crumble candied bacon and sprinkle over batter.
- In a small bowl, combine 4 tablespoons blueberry preserves and 1 teaspoon warm water; stir until thinned.

- Bake for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Notes
- For easier crumbling, bake the bacon slightly longer than directed, then let it cool completely on a wire rack before chopping.
- If you don’t have Bonne Maman preserves, you can substitute another high-quality wild blueberry preserves or jam.
- To prevent soggy pancakes, ensure the bacon is completely cool before adding it to the batter; store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 2 days.
