BACON ON PANCAKES RECIPES

1. First separate the eggs, putting the whites into one bowl and the yolks into another.
2. Add the flour, baking powder and milk to the yolks and mix to a smooth thick batter.
3. Whisk the whites with 1 pinch of sea salt until they form stiff peaks, then fold into the batter – it is now ready to use.
4. Heat a non-stick pan over a medium heat, pour some of the batter into the pan and cook for a couple of minutes, or until it starts to look golden and firm.
5. At this point sprinkle your chosen flavouring (see below) onto the uncooked side before loosening with a spatula and flipping the pancake over. Continue frying until both sides are golden.
6. You can make these pancakes large or small, depending on what you prefer. Serve them with a drizzle of maple syrup, or even with some butter or crème fraîche. If you choose to sprinkle with a flavouring, try one of these... fresh corn from the cob, crispy bacon or pancetta, blueberries, banana, stewed apple, grated chocolate – anything else you can imagine...

Sift the flour into a large bowl, then stir in the sugar and salt.

Whisk the egg, egg yolk and milk together in a jug. Make a well in the centre of the flour, then gradually beat the milk mixture into it with a wooden spoon, drawing in the flour from the edges to make a batter the consistency of single cream. Stir in the melted butter and vanilla extract.

Brush a 20cm non-stick frying pan with a little sunflower oil and place over a medium heat. When the pan is hot, pour in enough batter to coat the base of the pan evenly in a thin layer. Cook for about 1 minute, until light golden. Using a spatula, flip the pancake over and cook on the other side for a further 30 seconds, until golden. Set aside and keep warm, then repeat with the remaining batter, using a little more oil if necessary, until all the mixture is used up. You should have about 12 pancakes.

Serve the pancakes warm, sprinkled with sugar and lemon juice.
