Ingredients

275g plain flour 

1 tsp baking powder 

½ tsp bicarbonate of soda 

1 tbsp caster sugar 

2 medium free range eggs 

275ml whole milk 

50g unsalted butter, melted, plus a few extra knobs

maple syrup, to serve 

Method

• Preheat the grill to medium-high. 
• Tip the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and sugar into a mixing bowl and whisk together to combine. Crack the eggs into a jug with the milk and melted butter. Mix to combine. 
• Make a well in the bowl of flour and slowly pour in the milk mixture, whisking constantly as you pour, until smooth with no lumps. 
• Arrange the bacon on a baking tray and cook under the grill until golden and crispy. 
• Place a large non-stick frying pan and melt a little more butter over a medium-low heat. Add 3 large tablespoonfuls to the pan and cook for 1-2 mins, until bubbles start to appear. Flip and cook for another min. Repeat with the remaining batter. 
• Pile the pancakes onto plates and serve with a knob of butter on top, crispy bacon, blueberries and maple syrup.
