ingredients

FOR THE BEST FLUFFIEST PANCAKES

  • 290g Plain Flour
  • 40g granulated sugar
  • 4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 435ml Milk
  • 60g Butter, melted and lightly cooled
  • 1 large egg

FOR THE HELLA NASHTY CHICKEN

  • 2 tablespoons of strong flour
  • 2 tablespoons of cornflour
  • 2 tablespoons of Hella Nashty Seasoning
  • Salt & Pepper
  • Two Handfuls of crushed up crunchy nuts, cornflakes.
  • Two chicken breasts sliced into tenders
  • Vegetable oil or Sunflower Oil - enough to shallow fry in about and inch - and inch and a half of oil

FOR STACKING

  • 10 rashers of streaky bacon
  • Squeezy Honey - We used JD’s Smoked Hot Honey

Directions

FOR THE PANCAKES

  1. Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large-sized bowl. Make a well in the centre and add the milk, slightly cooled melted butter, and egg.
  2. Whisk the wet ingredients together first before slowly folding them into the dry ingredients. Mix together until smooth (there may be a couple of lumps but that's okay)
  3. Set the batter aside and allow to rest while heating up your pan
  4. Heat a nonstick pan over low-medium heat and wipe over with a little butter to lightly grease pan. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the pan and spread out gently into a round shape with the back of your ladle or measuring cup.
  5. When the underside is golden and bubbles begin to appear on the surface, flip with a spatula and cook until golden. Repeat with remaining batter.
  6. Load them up and enjoy!

FOR THE HELLA NASTY CHICKEN

  1. Using a bag or a container combined with the dry ingredients and your chicken well and leave in a fridge for a couple of hours if possible
  2. When ready to cook, heat your oil pan in a deep side pan until it reaches 175 to 180° C 
  3. Shallow fry your tenders, two or three at a time for 5 to 7 minutes until internal hits 75° C remove and place on a wire rack
  4. Toss your chicken tenders and a mixture of extra squeezy, honey melted butter and extra Hella Nashty Seasoning
  5. Grill your streaky bacon, and it’s just started brown and squeeze some hot honey over it and place back under the grill for a couple more minute
  6. Start the stack we went Pancake, Bacon, Honey and repeated until we had this epic 6 stack! Then topped with the Chicken and a healthy drizzle of JD’s Smoked Hot Honey

Recipe Note

Top Tips For Perfect Pancakes 🥞

Preheat your good quality, non stick pan or griddle on medium heat first. Once it’s hot, lower the heat down to low-medium heat. Wait about two minutes. This part is crucial and so worth it. Lightly grease the pan with a small amount of butter (yes, even on non stick pans), and wipe away any excess butter with a sheet of paper towel.

Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to pour your batter so you get perfect, evenly sized pancakes. Start pouring from the middle, then continue pouring slowly in a circular motion so that the batter spreads into perfect round shapes.

Allow the pancakes to cook properly! Don’t rush them on high heat, or flip them too early. Let that under-side cook to a beautiful golden brown colour, and when bubbles start forming on top and around the surface (batter side), they are ready to flip.

How to get that flip perfected without creating lopsided pancakes? Grab a good, plastic spatula and slide it underneath the pancake. Use your WRIST to gently flip them instead of using your whole arm. You’ll know what I mean when you’re in front of your pan ready to flip. THIS makes a HUGE difference.
