A special Father’s Day breakfast featuring fluffy pancakes, crispy bacon, and creamy scrambled eggs served with fresh berries and maple syrup.
Ingredients
Scale
- Pancakes:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 3 ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 ¼ cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- Scrambled Eggs:
- 6 large eggs
- ¼ cup whole milk
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- Bacon:
- 8 slices thick-cut bacon
- Optional Toppings and Sides:
- Pure maple syrup
- Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- Butter pats
- Orange juice or coffee
Instructions
- Prepare the bacon: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place bacon on a wire rack over a baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes until crispy. Drain on paper towels.
- Make the pancake batter: Sift flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Whisk milk, egg, and melted butter separately. Combine wet and dry ingredients, stirring gently until just mixed.
- Cook the pancakes: Heat a greased non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour ¼ cup batter per pancake. Cook until bubbles form and edges set, 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook 1-2 minutes more. Keep warm.
- Scramble the eggs: Beat eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Melt butter in a pan over medium-low heat. Pour eggs, let set briefly, then gently stir until softly cooked. Remove from heat.
- Serve: Arrange pancakes, bacon, and scrambled eggs on a plate. Add fresh berries and butter pats. Drizzle maple syrup. Serve with orange juice or coffee.
Notes
- Do not overmix pancake batter; lumps keep pancakes tender.
- Baking bacon on a rack yields crispier slices.
- Use medium-low heat for creamy scrambled eggs.
- Customize toppings to suit Dad’s preferences.
- Keep cooked items warm under foil before serving.
