Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of Bisquick, 1/2 cup of sour cream, 1/2 cup of seltzer, 1/4 cup of melted butter, and 1 tablespoon of maple syrup. Stir until smooth.
  3. Incorporate crumbled bacon, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, 6 eggs, 1 tablespoon of chopped chives, and optional lemon juice into the batter. Fold gently until evenly distributed.
  4. Grease a suitable baking dish with butter or spray to prevent sticking. Pour and spread the batter mixture into the prepared dish.
  5. Sprinkle 1 cup of grated cheddar cheese over the top. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until golden brown and puffed up.
  6. Remove from oven and cool slightly for about 5 minutes before slicing. Cut into squares and serve warm.
