Savoury Pancakes with Smoked Bacon and Poached Eggs
Cook Time: 30 mins
Description:
Serve with freshly squeezed orange juice and some fresh berries for the perfect weekend brunch.
Ingredients:
• 5
Bord Bia Quality Assured eggs
• 8
smoked streaky rashers
• 175
grams of
self-raising flour
• 1
tsp of
baking powder
• a
pinch of
of salt
• 30
grams of
butter, melted
• 800
ml of
milk
• 4
scallions, finely chopped
• 80
grams of
cheddar cheese, grated
Cooking Method:
To Make the Pancakes:

Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a mixing bowl and make a well in the centre.

Crack one egg into the well, add the melted butter and half the milk. Using a balloon whisk or wooden spoon, gradually draw the flour into the liquid until all the flour has been incorporated and then whisk well to make a smooth batter.

Whisk in the remaining milk, scallions and cheese.

Heat a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Brush a little butter over the base. Drop tablespoons of batter onto the pan, leaving room for them to spread. Cook them in batches. Keep warm.

To Poach the Eggs:

Bring a large pan of water to a simmer. Season the water with salt and a dash of vinegar. Give the water a stir to cause it to swirl.

Break the eggs, one at a time, into a ramekin or small bowl, then slide gently into the water. Cover the pan and continue to simmer for 2-3 minutes or until the eggs are cooked to your liking.

Meanwhile grill the rashers until crispy.

Divide the pancakes between four serving plates. Top with crispy bacon and a poached egg.
