Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 large egg
• 6 slices bacon strips
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk (for scrambled eggs)
• 1 teaspoon butter (for scrambled eggs)
• 1 cup mixed fresh fruit (e.g., berries, melon, banana)
• 1 glass orange juice
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat for the pancakes.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the milk, melted butter, and egg. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined (small lumps are okay).

Step 4

Lightly grease the skillet with butter or cooking spray. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 5

Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a separate skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

Step 6

For the scrambled eggs, whisk together the eggs and 2 tablespoons of milk in a bowl. Melt 1 teaspoon of butter in a non-stick skillet over low heat. Pour in the egg mixture and stir gently with a spatula until just set and creamy, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 7

Wash and prepare the fresh fruit (slice if needed) and arrange it in a small bowl or on the plate.

Step 8

Warm the maple syrup in a small saucepan or the microwave for a few seconds.

Step 9

Arrange the pancakes, bacon, scrambled eggs, and fresh fruit on a tray or plate. Drizzle the pancakes with warm maple syrup.

Step 10

Serve with a glass of orange juice and any additional coffee or tea as desired.
