Fried banana, bacon and ricotta flapjack stack
Ingredients
- 250g streaky bacon
- 30ml (2 tbsp) honey + extra, to drizzle
- 150g cake flour
- 5ml (1 tsp) baking powder
- Pinch salt
- 1 large egg

- 150g ricotta cheese, crumbled
- Butter, to fry
- 1 – 2 bananas, thinly sliced

Instructions
Turn the oven to 200°C and set to grill. Place the streaky bacon on a baking tray, drizzle with the honey and grill until golden and crisp, about 5 minutes.
Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt in a mixing bowl.
Combine the egg, milk and 45g melted butter in a jug. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and slowly add the egg, milk and butter mixture, mixing as you go, until ta lump free batter has formed. Stir in the ricotta.
