Pancake tacos with candied bacon and scrambled eggs

Step 1/4

• 73⅓ g flour
• ⅔ tsp baking powder
• ⅓ tsp sugar
• ⅛ tsp salt
• ⅔ eggs
• 113⅓ ml milk
• ⅔ tbsp butter

• oven
• bowl (large)
• whisk
• liquid measuring cup

Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F top/bottom heat. Combine flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a large mixing bowl and set aside. Whisk eggs and milk in a small measuring cup. Then stir in half of the melted butter. Gently stir the milk mixture into the dry ingredients, but only enough to just mix everything together; a few small lumps are okay. If the batter seems too thick, add a little more milk.

Step 2/4

• 2 strips bacon
• ⅓ tbsp maple syrup
• pepper

• baking sheet
• parchment paper
• pastry brush

Lay out the bacon strips on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Brush the bacon with the maple syrup and season with pepper. Then bake in the preheated oven for approx. 15–20 min. until golden brown and crispy. Meanwhile, continue with the recipe. At the end of the baking time, remove the bacon from the tray and let it drain.

Step 3/4

• ⅓ tbsp butter

• nonstick pan
• spatula
• plate

Melt half of the remaining butter in a large frying pan. Pour batter into the pan in batches and cook approx. 10 cm/ 4 in.-sized pancakes. Adjust heat as needed; generally, the first batch requires higher heat than the following batches. Flip pancakes after approx. 2–3 min., when bubbles rise to the surface and the bottom browns. Let the other side cook for approx. 1–2 min. more or until lightly browned. Take the pancakes out of the pan, stack them on a plate, and set aside.

Step 4/4

• 1⅔ g chives
• ⅓ tbsp butter
• 1⅓ eggs
• 16⅔ g shredded cheddar cheese
• 10 g shredded cheddar cheese
• salt
• pepper
• hot sauce (optional)

• knife
• cutting board
• bowl
• whisk
• rubber spatula

Cut chives into fine rings. Heat the remaining butter in the same pan over low to medium heat. Crack eggs into a bowl, season with salt and pepper, and whisk. Add eggs into the pan and scramble with a rubber spatula. Just before the scrambled eggs are ready, stir in most of the cheese, leaving some for serving later. The scrambled eggs are done when the eggs are still a little glossy. Remove the pan from the heat. Cut or break bacon slices in half. To serve, fold pancakes in half like a taco. Place scrambled eggs in the center of the pancakes. Top with bacon and remaining cheese and garnish with chives and hot sauce, if desired. Serve immediately.
