American style pancakes and crispy bacon

Nigella's got it going on. Yes, a mad stare, a clearly resentful brood of children and a bosom that clearly needs to be unleashed, but also a lovely recipe for american style pancakes.

225g flour
A tablespoon of baking powder
A pinch of salt
A teaspoon of sugar
30g of butter melted then cooled
2 eggs
300ml milk

Whisk the lot then leave for a bit before using (probably does some gluteny stuff that helps the texture), meanwhile put your bacon in the oven to crisp up (far better than frying) and dig out your sticky jar of maple syrup.

Works moderately well with faken (for the boy), but he declared it needed cheese (very little he eats doesn't) and so I'm not sure he agreed. Though much to my chagrin it did make me think that parmesan pancakes might be nice... so maybe he has a point.
