Weekend Pancakes For the Ladies

I always sound sexist when I do recipes that are aimed for either men or women but this is hands down the perfect recipe for any women at the weekend. While men are all about big fry ups I’ve never not seen a woman’s face light up at the mention of pancakes. Throw in a some crispy American style bacon and some lightly stewed fruit and you have an all time classic. Women of the world you know what to demand this weekend and men get your frying pans and whisks ready…

Instructions

Step 1

There are very few recipes the Americans have taken from the French and made better but I’m a huge fan of American style pancakes over more traditional crepes. You’ll have a lot of the ingredients at home. Make sure to get the thin streaky bacon.

Step 2

Crack the eggs into the bowl. Pretty fucking easy that part!

Step 3

Spoonful of baking powder in with them

Step 4

Lash in a good bit of flour. Just use your eye on this one and put in what feels about 2 cups worth. You don’t have to be exact with pancakes.

Step 5

Lash in a good bit of sugar. about half a cup

Step 6

Nice little swig of milk. Say about quarter of a pint.

Step 7

Now the reason why I’m so vague with the amounts is that you can adjust it. Start whisking it together with either a whisk or a fork

Step 8

Make sure it is super smooth and you have all the lumps out of it. That is the key to this whole thing. Don’t be a lazy bastard and whisk it for ages.

Step 9

Now the consistency you are looking for is like a thick soup. Even like a smoothie. If it is too thin lash in some more flour. If it is too thick add more milk.

Step 10

Now set the mixture to one side and start cooking the bacon. Nice frying pan on a low to medium heat.

Step 11

Place it in the pan. You don’t need any oil or anything like that. The fat will come out of the bacon naturally

Step 12

Flip the bacon every couple of minutes
