Ingredients
  • 5 eggs
  • 4 rashers free-range bacon
  • 1 avocado
  • 1 cup buckwheat flour
  • 1 cup milk of choice
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • Coconut oil/ ghee/ animal fat/ olive oil
  • Small handful parsley
  • Maple syrup/ honey
Instructions
  1. Whisk 4 eggs in a bowl and put to the side - these you will scramble near the end.
  2. For the pancakes, crack the remaining egg into a large cup and add the milk - beating together.
  3. To a separate bowl add the flour, salt and baking powder - mixing together.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk together until combined.
  5. Meanwhile turn your grill to medium and place your bacon on a tray under the heat to cook.
  6. Place a pan on medium heat, add about 1tbsp of fat and let it melt (coconut oil, ghee or animal fat is best - use olive oil if you don't have any of these).
  7. Using a ladle, pour small amounts of the mixture into the pan to make little circles for each pancake. They are better when kept small.
  8. Cook until slightly golden underneath (about 2 minutes), then flip them over and brown the other side.
  9. In a separate pan, add 1tsp fat and let it melt. Add the whisked eggs and stir on a medium heat until cooked to desired consistency.
  10. Serve the pancakes with the scrambled egg, bacon, slices of avocado on the side. Sprinkle over some chopped parsley and a drizzle of maple syrup or honey. Any extra pancakes will keep for 2-3 days in the fridge.
Notes
For a vegetarian alternative - add ½ tsp cinnamon to the pancake mix before cooking and serve with a generous dollop of natural yoghurt or coconut yoghurt, fresh berries, chopped walnuts, a drizzle of maple syrup or honey, and maybe even a cheeky bit of chopped fresh mint for good measure.
