- 170g/6oz self-raising flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 115g/4oz caster sugar
- 2 eggs
- 275ml/10fl oz milk
- 230g/8oz smoked streaky bacon
- maple syrup
- butter for frying
- Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.
- Sift the flour, baking powder and caster sugar into a bowl.
- Using a whisk, add the eggs and the milk. Be careful not to overwhisk. Put to one side.
- Put the bacon on an oven tray and bake until crisp.
- Remove and brush over a little of the maple syrup.
- To cook the pancakes, preheat a non-stick frying pan. Add a little butter and pour around three spoonfuls of the mixture into the pan – the pancakes should be quite small. Cook until golden brown and turn over to colour the other side. Remove and place on a large plate.
- To serve, pile the pancakes on the plate and arrange the bacon around and on top. Drizzle with maple syrup and serve.
