Method
-
Step 1
Start by making the pancake batter – combine the buttermilk, baking powder,1 tbsp of sugar and the eggs into a large bowl and whisk until smooth. Sieve the flour in and mix until there are no lumps then set aside for 5-10 mins.
-
Step 2
Next make the candied banana – pour 60g of sugar into the pan and mix with 1-2 tbsp of cold water and the vanilla. Cook on medium heat until caramel starts to form then add the banana slices and coat well. Remove from heat and transfer onto a plate and keep warm. Clean and prepare the pan for the pancakes.
-
Step 3
Place the bacon on a tray lined up with baking paper and grill on high for 5-6 mins turning half way.
-
Step 4
While the bacon is grilling start with the pancakes – preheat the pan on medium low and using a 4oz ladle pour the pancake mix in the middle of the pan. Cook gently until the edges start setting then flip over and cook on the other side. Remove and cook the next one – if you are confident enough use two pans and cook two pancakes at the same time.
-
Step 5
Stack up your pancakes with layers of bacon, candied bananas and maple syrup. Top up with fresh mint and blueberries or whipped cream.
