Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1.25 cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 8 bacon strips
- 0.25 cup maple syrup
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- to taste salt and pepper
- 1 cup fresh mixed berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries)
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 1 tablespoon butter (for greasing the griddle)
- 0.25 cup pancake syrup
Instructions
1. Prepare the pancake batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, whisk the milk, egg, and melted butter. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined (lumps are okay). Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
2. Cook the pancakes: Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter. Pour 1/4-cup portions of batter onto the griddle to form pancakes. Cook until bubbles form and the edges look set (about 2-3 minutes). Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
3. Prepare the bacon: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the bacon strips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the strips with maple syrup for a caramelized glaze. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until crispy. Remove and set aside on paper towels to drain.
4. Make the scrambled eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Heat a non-stick pan over low heat and add a knob of butter. Pour in the egg mixture and gently stir with a spatula until curds form and the eggs are soft and creamy. Remove from heat.
5. Assemble the platter: Arrange the pancakes, scrambled eggs, and maple-glazed bacon on a large serving plate. Garnish with fresh berries and a dollop of whipped cream. Serve with pancake syrup on the side.
6. Enjoy your Breakfast for the Gods with a hot cup of coffee or freshly squeezed orange juice, and bask in the glory of a truly divine morning meal!
