Introduction

I first came across silver-dollar pancakes on the brunch menu at Blackfoot in London’s Exmouth Market: tiny American pancakes served with melon and yoghurt, or bacon and soft, spiced apples. I make mine with traditional maple syrup and bacon – but have them as you will.

Ingredients

200gplain flour
1 tbspbaking powder
1 tbspsugar
a pinch of salt
2eggs
300mlmilk
30gmelted butter, plus extra for frying
200gstreaky bacon
6 tbspmaple syrup

Method

Stir together the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl, and make a well in the centre.

Break the eggs into the well, then pour in the milk and melted butter, and stir well to combine. Cover the mixture with a tea-towel and leave to stand for 30 minutes.

Melt a little butter in a frying pan, and dollop 1 scant tablespoon of batter into the pan to make one pancake. Repeat, leaving a clear 2cm around each to allow for spreading. When the pancake is bubbling on the top, turn it over for 1 minute, then remove from the pan. You might need to do these in batches – keep them warm,separated from each other with greaseproof paper or cling film.

In a separate pan, fry the bacon until crisp. Serve alongside the pancakes with a drizzle of maple syrup!
