Ingredients
- 140g plain flour
- 1tsp baking powder
- Pinch salt
- 1tbsp caster sugar
- 1tsp cinnamon
- 1tsp vanilla extract
- 140ml whole milk
- 1 medium egg
- 3 tbsp melted butter
- 8 slices cooked bacon
Instructions
-
Cook the bacon:
Fry or grill the bacon until cooked but not too crispy - it will cook a little more in the pan later. Set aside. -
Make the pancake batter:
In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla. Combine wet and dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. The batter should be slightly thick but pourable. -
Heat the pan:
Place a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add a small knob of butter or a drizzle of oil. -
Make the dippers:
-
Pour a strip of pancake batter into the pan (roughly the length of a bacon slice).
-
Immediately place a slice of cooked bacon on top of the batter.
-
Cook until bubbles form on the pancake surface and the edges look set (about 2 minutes).
-
-
Flip carefully:
Using a spatula, gently flip the bacon + pancake together. Cook for another 1–2 minutes, until golden and cooked through. -
Serve:
Transfer to a plate and drizzle generously with maple syrup. Enjoy warm!
