300ml milk

30g soft butter

Half a tsp of salt

1 tbsp baking powder

2 tsp white sugar

2. Pop the eggs and milk into the middle of the well and combine. Beat together until you get a smooth batter.

3. Heat butter in a pan ona medium-hot heat and ladle in the batter.

4. Cook on one side until bubbles start to appear for a minute or two, then flip to brown the other side, again for a minute or so.

5. Layer with slices of banana and top with crispy bacon, honesy and blueberry compote for a scrumptious sweet and savoury brunch.
