Ingredients

  • 150 g flour
  • 2 T sugar
  • 1 1/2 t baking powder
  • 1/4 t salt
  • 20 g desiccated coconut
  • 1 T lemon zest
  • 1 T free-range egg
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 2 T butter
  • For the whipped maple-and-bacon-bacon butter

  • 125 g streaky bacon, cooked until very crispy
  • 150 g butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup

Method

  1. Gently combine all the dry ingredients and lemon zest in a large bowl. Mix the egg, buttermilk and coconut milk and fold into the dry ingredients – take care not to overmix.
  2. Heat a little butter in a pan over a medium to high heat. Pour 8 cm-sized circles of batter into the hot butter. Cook on both sides until golden, about 5 minutes.
    To make the whipped butter, coarsely chop the crispy bacon, then place in a blender with the butter and slowly blitz. Stir in the maple syrup. Stack the hot flapjacks on a serving plate and top with a generous amount of maple-and-bacon butter. Serve immediately.
