Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 6 slices bacon strips
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk (for scrambled eggs)
- 1 teaspoon butter (for scrambled eggs)
- 1 cup mixed fresh fruit (e.g., berries, melon, banana)
- 1 glass orange juice
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
Instructions
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat for the pancakes.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the milk, melted butter, and egg. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined (small lumps are okay).
Lightly grease the skillet with butter or cooking spray. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a separate skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
For the scrambled eggs, whisk together the eggs and 2 tablespoons of milk in a bowl. Melt 1 teaspoon of butter in a non-stick skillet over low heat. Pour in the egg mixture and stir gently with a spatula until just set and creamy, about 3-5 minutes.
Wash and prepare the fresh fruit (slice if needed) and arrange it in a small bowl or on the plate.
Warm the maple syrup in a small saucepan or the microwave for a few seconds.
Arrange the pancakes, bacon, scrambled eggs, and fresh fruit on a tray or plate. Drizzle the pancakes with warm maple syrup.
Serve with a glass of orange juice and any additional coffee or tea as desired.
