It is a love & hate relationship with Sundays. I love it because it is usually a day of cooking and eating and cooking and eating
And I hate it because it includes house cleaning and back to work the next day
My small kitchen is the favourite place in the house. I love it. I can stand all day, cook, wash up and then go on to the next thing.
It is no different this Sunday. The day started with advocado milk which I drank while prepping for lunch. I love pancakes and do not consume enough of it. And it is such a happy food. It always make me smile.
Ingredient:
- 2 scrambled eggs
- 2 crispy bacon rashers
- Maple syrup
- Olive oil
- Butter
Pancake – makes 4 -6 depending on size of each pancake
- 1/2 cup self-raising flour
- 1/2 tbsp castor sugar
- A pinch of salt
- 175ml buttermilk
- 1 egg
Method:
- Sift the flour and add the rest of the ingredients
- Whisk until it forms a smooth mixture
- Heat the pan with a small amount of olive oil and small piece of butter
- Pour pancake mixture (1/2 ladle) and leave it for about 2 minutes on each side
It was fun putting all the elements together. I had the scrambled eggs in one pan and the bacon in another. Plus I had to remember to flip the pancake as well! I probably looked hilarious in the kitchen trying to juggle different pans and timing. It finally all came together and topped with a generous squirt of maple syrup. I served it with a cup of chilled avocado milk.
Simple. A little naughty. And a thumbs up from Mister and thanks for being patient
Do you have a particular pancake topping that is sweet & savoury as well? Please do share!

Lovely breakfast. It’s a great breakfast for Sundays. I like it with bacon too probably incorporated into the batter. But I also like it sweet. But then again I also like it both.
I read a blog recently about that actually. That will be great. Crunchy bacon pancake drizzled with maple syrup.
how could you do any better than pancakes and bacon? Although I am a little partial to freshly squeezed lemon juice and a dash of sugar, tangy and sweet.
I could do fried chicken like the Americans! Hmm… I’ve not tried lemon juice and sugar before. Might give it a go!
Lol, this post reminds me of my other half dunking rasher bacon into maple syrup while we were in Las Vegas this year.
Did you like it? What is it about bacon and maple syrup that tastes so good together?
Hmmm, the reason why my other half did that was that the rasher bacon was really overfried and he didn't like the taste of "dry" bacon. I guessed he really liked it because I saw him drown all his bacon in maple syrup throughout his meal.
Too much of a good thing is good
Check out our Sunday brunch here: http://tiny.cc/ndK38
The cinnamon sausages had a touch of the maple syrup about them and were absolutely divine. We put our pancetta into the egg mixture too…
I am totally imspired by you to make my own pancetta. You have convinced me
Pancakes plus eggs plus bacon = yummy!
Thanks babe! Im glad you like it too. Do you have a favourite pancake topping?
a true breakfast classic, I love your pancakes with bacon. Send some here to the states
i must say australians have the best bacon ^^ what's chilled avocado milk? never heard of it… i'm so curious ><
@CheapAppetite – Thanks sweetie. Is it easy to find orange blossom over there?
We are spoilt for choices dear~ And glad you found my post on Avocado milk!
wow, this is the breakfast i can only see on tv commercials!
u know what, that's my husband's breakfast, i'm soooo making this. hope i can be as good as yours!
I hope your hubby love it as much as mine
let me know how you go!
One of my favorite ways to start a Sunday morning! Looks beautiful
@Jessie – I wish I could package it up and send it over and you can send some of your delicious foods over too.
@The Duo Dishes – Not sure why they taste so good together. Maybe coz they are such a naughty combination!
@Diana – Thanks lovely! I love Sundays
It's the breakfast of champions! Love bacon and syrup together in one bite.
that's such a lovely breakfast to go for.
A favorite of mine is fried chicken on top of waffles, they have restaurants here that specialize in just that, chicken and waffles.. so good!!! The savory crispy chicken, with the sweet maple syrup and fluffy waffle… bliss!!
I read about that and I will try that one day
It's funny because I really think that bacon has the ability to compliment a lot of flavors you would never think it would go with. I think of the gourmet bacon chocolate bars and the very recently released (and extremely exclusive) bacon beer. And also, avocado milk? I haven't heard of that before and I'm a big lover of avocados.
Check out this simple and delicious avocado recipe if you haven't – Avocado milk
And thanks for visiting.
