Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams bacon or pork belly
- 200 grams all-purpose flour
- 500 milliliters whole milk
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon butter (for greasing)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F).
Cut the bacon or pork belly into small lardons or bite-sized pieces.
In a large frying pan, cook the bacon over medium heat until it turns golden and crispy. Remove the pan from heat and set the bacon aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and pepper. Gradually add the milk while whisking to form a smooth batter.
Crack the eggs into the batter and whisk thoroughly until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.
Grease a large baking dish or ovenproof skillet (approximately 9x13 inches) with butter.
Evenly spread the cooked bacon pieces across the greased dish. Pour the pancake batter evenly over the bacon.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the pancake is golden brown, puffed up, and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into portions.
Serve hot, optionally accompanied by lingonberry jam or a green salad for a delightful contrast.
