bacon & eggs pancake stack
Description
Also known as ‘The Hangover Stack’, Gemma Simmonite, chef and co-owner of the buzzy all-day restaurant Gastrono-me, shares two recipes for Pancake Day. You can find Gastrono-me in Bury St Edmunds and opens in Cambridge on 2 March.
Gemma says: “There is nothing better than a fresh off the griddle pancake stack on pancake day, or maybe there is… A fresh off the griddle pancake stack laced with smoky crispy bacon, and a fried egg! This is one of our most popular stacks at Gastrono-me and always makes me smile when I see it flying off the pass. This recipe does take a little extra effort, but I think they are utterly worth it, especially on Pancake Day!”
Ingredients

Instructions
-
Measure and sift the flour, baking powder, salt, and caster sugar into a mixing bowl.
-
In a jug, whisk together the egg, milk and butter and whisk well. Pour into the flour mix and whisk together.
-
Cook the pancakes on a medium to high heat in a good greased non-stick pan until puffed and golden brown. The best advice I can give for beautiful pancakes is make sure to wait to see bubbles appear before flipping. When all the batter is used, cover the pancakes with a clean tea towel to keep warm.
-
To serve, make sure your fried eggs and bacon are ready.
-
Now for the stacking - allow three or four each depending on your Shrove Tuesday appetite! Between each pancake insert a rasher of bacon, douse (very) liberally with maple syrup then topped with the fried egg. Sprinkle with the tiniest amount of dried red chilli flakes and serve immediately.
