Diner Breakfast

Step 1

In a bowl, combine the mustard with half the maple syrup. Smear the marinade over the bacon. Set it aside.

Step 2

Set aside 1 egg per serving. Then separate the rest of the egg whites & yolks into 2 separate bowls.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder & a pinch of salt. Add a bit of sugar (optional).

Step 4

Melt the butter in the microwave. Then add it to the dry ingredients.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk the milk with the egg yolks. Add them to the flour mixture. Stir with a few swift strokes, making sure not to over-mix the batter.

Step 6

Add a pinch of salt to the bowl of egg whites.

Step 7

Beat the whites with a hand mixer until they form stiff peaks.

Step 8

Gently fold the egg whites into the pancake batter.

Step 9

Heat a dab of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add a ladleful of batter. Cook the pancake for 2 min on each side. Then remove it from the heat & keep warm. Continue with the rest of the batter until all pancakes have been made.

Step 10

In the same skillet, cook the marinated bacon & the reserved eggs (sunny-side up!) alongside each other.

Step 11

When the bacon & eggs are done, turn off the heat. Place the pancakes onto serving plates. Top with the crispy bacon & fried eggs. Pour the rest of the maple syrup over top. Enjoy!
