Bacon pancakes


So I stumbled upon a recipe for these (will post link if I ever find it again..) and when my housemate bought home bacon figured it was time to try it.

Its pretty simple, you make a pancake batter, mine is:
Put 1 egg about half a cup of milk in a bowl, mix, add about 1/4 cup sugar (caster or brown works best, brown if you want a more caramel-ey sweet) and then gradually add SR flour until its a pancake-batter consistency (probably about a cup)

Then fry your bacon, we used short rindless bacon and I cut it in half to make smaller pancakes, but you could do whole pieces of bacon and make them larger if you fancy. Once the bacon is ready on the first side flip it, and then spoon the batter over the top. Flip them once bubbles rise to the surface and pop without closing over again.

We just ate them as they were, but they would be wonderful with maple syrup (canadian style) or even icing sugar sifted over them (or both). Or could easily be made savoury by omitting the sugar from the batter (and maybe adding some cheese or herbs) and served with tomato and sauted mushroom.
