How many syllables does the word "bustle" have? One or two?

Syllabic consonant:
A syllabic consonant is a phonetic element that normally patterns as a consonant, but may fill a vowel slot in a syllable.

Considering the fact that the word bustle includes the syllabic l, the conclusion is that the word bustle has 2 syllables.

/ˈbʌsəl/ would be the correct way to pronounce it
