Ingredients

  • 1 cup cake flour
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 40ml sugar
  • 5ml beetroot powder or pink/red food colouring
  • Large pinch of salt
  • 30ml oil, plus extra for greasing the pan
  • 1 large egg
  • 190ml milk
  • 5ml vanilla essence
  • 200g Eskort Streaky Bacon, grilled or fried until crispy
  • Vanilla ice cream, to serve
  • Golden syrup, to serve

Method

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, beetroot powder (or powdered food colouring; if using liquid food colouring, add this to the wet ingredients below), and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the oil, egg, milk, and vanilla essence until combined.
  3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk gently until a smooth, pink batter forms.
  4. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease with oil.
  5. Pour 60ml of batter into the pan for each flapjack. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden and cooked through. Repeat with remaining batter.
  6. Stack the warm flapjacks onto plates and top with crispy bacon.
  7. Finish with scoops of vanilla ice cream, a drizzle of golden syrup, and optional dollops of butter. Serve immediately.
