- stock up 3 pancakes and drizzle the white sauce on top of it .you can enjoy also with some turkey slice in between for an extra boost of protein like it is shown in the pictures above.enjoy!
Notes
- the bacon doesn't have to be pig bacon you can use beef bacon or veal bacon instead but use bacon it add a smoked taste to the taste .
- i use a organic low fat cooking cream it is the best so the sauce will be not to much heavy and hard on your stomach.
- date syrup add a original earthy taste to the sauce but if you cannot find it you can replace it with honey or maple syrup or molasses, but if you can find date syrup i highly recommend to use it add a very significant taste.
- you can use 1 tsp dry oregano if you cannot find rosemary
- the batter can be prepared the night before and store in the fridge.
- as for the leftovers the baked pancake can be stored in fridge for up to 5 days and in the freezer for 3 months.
- as for the sauce you can store it in the fridge for 3 days if it is not spreadable anymore and it is thicken in the fridge you can preheat it in the microwave for 30 sec and whisk it to loosen up a little bit but it always to use it fresh for the best texture.
- you can also make some cheese sauce and spread it on the pancakes.
