Prepare Candied Bacon: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Brush bacon with maple syrup and sprinkle with brown sugar. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until crispy and caramelized. Drain on paper towels and crumble.
Prepare the Waffle Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, milk, and clarified butter.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Prepare Bourbon-Maple Glaze: In a small saucepan, combine maple syrup, bourbon, and butter. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
Cook the Waffles: Preheat your waffle iron. Pour batter onto the hot waffle iron and cook according to manufacturer's instructions.
Assemble: Top waffles with crumbled candied bacon, drizzle with bourbon-maple glaze, and sprinkle with candied pecans.
Serve immediately.
