Georgie's maple bacon pancakes
Featuring Pure Maple Syrup
4 portions

Ingredients

  • 100g buckwheat flour (you can just use plain flour if you’d prefer)
  • 80g plain flour
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 large eggs
  • 25g melted butter, plus extra for frying
  • 400ml whole milk
  • 4 tbsp pure maple syrup, plus extra for serving (preferably amber syrup for its rich taste)
  • 8 rashers of smoked, streaky bacon
  • 200g sour cream
  • 1 tsp chipotle paste
  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 2 limes
  • A few springs of coriander

Method

  1. In a mixing bowl whisk together the two flours with a good pinch of salt. In a jug whisk together the eggs, butter, milk and 1 tablespoon of maple syrup until smooth.
  2. Pour the liquid into the flour, whisk together until you have a smooth batter. Leave to rest for half an hour if you can.
  3. When you’re ready to make the pancakes, preheat your oven to a very low heat, to keep the pancakes and bacon warm whilst you are frying the batter.
  4. Place a medium frying pan on a medium heat and add a small knob of butter. When the pan is hot, pour in a ladle of the batter and swirl around the pan.
  5. Cook until golden, then flip and cook on the other side for a minute or two. Fold the pancake in half, then half again and place on a tray to keep warm in the oven while you repeat.
  6. At the same time, lay the bacon out in a frying pan. Place on medium heat and fry on both sides until lightly golden – you shouldn’t need to add any fat.
  7. Drizzle in the remaining maple syrup and caramelise in the pan for a few minutes. Transfer to a serving plate.
  8. Ripple together the sour cream and chipotle paste. Slice the avocado into slices, halve the limes and pick the coriander leaves.
  9. Serve the pancakes to the table with all the accompaniments, and tuck in.

A pancake recipe with a twist! These savoury pancakes with bacon serve as an excellent option for brunch – the creamy avocado perfectly complements the crispy maple bacon, while the chipotle mayo adds a subtly spicy kick.

More about maple

The colour and flavour of maple syrup changes in subtle ways during the seasonal harvest

At the start of the sugaring season, the syrup is generally clear, with a light, sweet taste. It becomes darker with a caramelised flavour as the season progresses throughout the spring.

An unopened can of maple syrup keeps for many years

Once the can is opened, syrup should be kept in an airtight container in a cool place.

Maple spread doesn't contain any butter or dairy products

Like all 100% pure maple products, maple spread comes from the sap of the maple tree — that’s all.
