March 11, 2026
There’s nothing better than a plate of warm, fluffy pancakes to start the day. Light and golden, these pancakes are perfectly soft on the inside with a delicate crispness on the edges. Topped with a vibrant blueberry compote, subtly spiced with cinnamon and fresh orange zest, every bite is bursting with flavour.
To finish, crispy streaky bacon adds the perfect contrast—its smoky, salty crunch balancing the sweetness of the fruit. Whether it's a weekend brunch or a simple morning treat, this combination is a classic for a reason.

- In a medium saucepan, add the compote ingredients and simmer on a medium heat for 10 minutes until glossy and the blueberries are still whole but broken down a little. Remove from the heat and leave to cool slightly until serving. *
- Make the pancakes in a shallow non-stick frying pan, heat oil on a medium high heat, drop a couple of tablespoons of batter per pancake and leave to cook until bubbles form on the surface, flip using a spatula and cook for another couple of minutes. Remove to a plate and keep warm in the oven. Repeat until all the batter is gone (approx. 6 pancakes). *
