Step 1
Place the flour, baking powder and sugar in a medium sized bowl and mix to combine. In a jug place the milk, eggs and butter and whisk.
Step 2
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking all the time to prevent lumps.
Step 3
Cook for 2-3 minutes and then turn over and cook for a further 2 minutes on the other side. I like making faces on my pancakes so I also make some tiny little circles to act as eyes, and I drizzle a little batter into the pan in the shape of a smile for the mouth.
Step 4
Lightly grease a second frying pan with a little oil. Once hot add the bacon and fry on each side until golden brown and crispy.
To serve:
(Be extra careful when plating up food as pans and the food will be hot)
If you want to make a face like I do, place a pancake in the centre of the plate and arrange the bacon as the hair; use your tiny circles to make eyes and place blueberries on top so they really stand out. Place the pancake mouth where you’d like it and drizzle with maple syrup.
Or simply place a pile of the pancakes in the centre of the plate and sprinkle with the blueberries, arrange the bacon on top and drizzle with maple syrup.
