When you do not have enough eggs to go round, you could always make these nice little pancakes called jolly boys , originally invented to fill the breakfast plates of hungry young English country families when the backyard hens had stopped laying. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons plain flour |
1 egg |
5 fluid ounces milk |
1 pinch salt |
4 slices bacon |
1 teaspoon unsalted butter or 1 teaspoon lard |
Directions:
1. Make a batter with the flour, egg and milk and a pinch of salt.
2. It should be the consistency of heavy cream and run quickly off the spoon.
3. After frying the bacon in butter or lard, remove it to a plate to keep hot.
4. Increase the heat under the frying pan and put in a tablespoon of batter.
5. This will run into an oval shape and rise up in the middle.
6. Baste it with hot fat as you would a fried egg and dish up at once with the bacon.
