How to prepare Savory pancakes with bacon and crème fraîche
To make the pancakes with bacon and crème fraîche, first melt the butter over low heat and let it cool slightly. Take the eggs and separate the whites from the yolks 1, then whisk the yolks with the lukewarm melted butter by hand 2, then pour in the milk 3, season with salt and pepper,
add the grated cheese as well 4. At this point incorporate the flour and baking powder by sifting them through a sieve 5. Mix well with the whisk 6
until you obtain a smooth, homogeneous batter 7. Now beat the egg whites with electric beaters 8 until they are white and frothy 9.
Fold the beaten egg whites into the batter 10, gently mixing from the bottom up with a spatula. When the batter is ready 11 you can move on to cooking: heat a nonstick skillet (preferably with a thick base) greased with butter, pour a ladleful of batter into the center 12,
cook for 1 minute on one side 13, then turn the pancake gently with a spatula and cook it for half a minute on the other side, until it is golden on the surface 14. As you cook the pancakes, stack them on a plate 15. With this quantity you will obtain 15 pancakes.
Now take care of the filling: in the same pan you used to cook the pancakes, fry the slices of bacon for a couple of minutes, until they are crispy 16. Now peel the avocado, cut it in half, remove the pit and slice it thinly 17. Everything is ready to assemble the pancakes: place a pancake on a plate, spread a layer of sour cream
and season with chives 19. Place a crispy slice of bacon 20 and the avocado on top 21.
Now place another pancake on top and fill as before with sour cream 22, chives, bacon 23 and avocado. Each serving requires 3 pancakes. Close with another pancake and serve your pancakes with bacon and crème fraîche immediately 34.
