FABULOUS APPLE & MAPLE PANCAKES WITH CRISPY SWEETCURE BACON


SWEET, SALTY & SAVOURY.  HITS ALL THE FOOD NOTES

BATTER INGREDIENTS
1 apple, peeled & grated
1 cup of self rising flour
1 cup of buttermilk
1 tbsp maple syrup
1 egg beaten
1 pinch salt
1 pinch cinnamon

Oil & melted butter for cooking
6 rashers sweetcure bacon
Maple syrup
Mix all the batter ingredients together well, leave to rest for 20 minutes if you can.  Meanwhile while the batter is resting grill the sweetcure bacon, if you cant get sweetcure, smoked streaky bacon will do. 

Heat a non stick frying pan or flat griddle and brush with oil & butter, add a ladle of the batter mix and allow to free form a circle, when you can see air bubbles appearing on the top side of the uncooked pancake it is time to flip.  It is law that the first pancake will stick and be terrible in appearance, so put this one on the bottom of your serving plate!  Oil each time you cook a pancake.

Brush each cooked pancake with some of the melted butter and place the pancakes in the oven to keep warm while you cook the rest, this batter mix should make 6-8 pancakes. 

Serve stacked, and smothered with maple syrup on each layer and top off with crispy sweetcure bacon and more maple syrup.
