Bacon Pancakes

 

 

I've been persuaded to make these by my daughter - we were browsing Pinterest and came across a photo...so last week, Pancake day and half term collided and the bacon pancake seemed an ideal brunch..with maple syrup..Yummy

 

The principle is the same as regular pancakes ( I purchased a small induction ready pancake pan, which was perfect!)

we had 1 double rasher pancake each ( but 1 rasher would be fine too), and to be honest, she wanted pancakes for tea so I made the whole batter mixture below and finished it in the traditional style - this recipe should make 8...

 

Basic batter

125g plain flour

pinch of salt

1 egg

300ml milk ( I used SS)

a little oil, for frying

 

streaky bacon, as desired

maple syrup to serve

 

Method

1. Sift the flour and salt into a bowl, making a well in the centre. Add the egg and beat well . Add in the milk, and continue to beat - bringing in the flour, until a smooth batter is formed (I used an electric mixer for this..but a balloon whisk would be fine too) allow to stand for 10 minutes

2.In the pancake pan, fry the bacon rashers of choice per pancake.  allow to brown on both sides before adding the batter.  you may need a small amount of oil in the pan, to heat up before adding batter.

3. Pour in enough batter to cover the pan, but pour it around the sides of the bacon. Cook over a moderate heat until browned underneath, then turn and cook for a further minute approximately.

4. Repeat as desired.

5. serve if desired with maple syrup ( or tomato ketchup!)
