Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
Heat a large frying pan on medium heat (no oil). Once hot, add the flaked almonds and dry-fry, stirring regularly, until lightly toasted, 3-4 mins. TIP: Watch them like a hawk as they can burn easily.
Once toasted, transfer them to a bowl and set aside.
Heat a drizzle of oil in the now empty frying pan on medium-high heat.
Once hot, lay in the bacon rashers and fry until crispy and brown, 3-4 mins on each side. When cooked, transfer to a plate. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw meat. Cook bacon thoroughly.
Pour over half the honey and turn the bacon to coat it well, then cover to keep warm. TIP: If your honey has hardened, pop it in a bowl of hot water for 1 min.
While the bacon cooks, pop the pancakes onto a baking tray and into the oven to warm through, 2-3 mins.
When the pancakes have warmed through, start to build your stack!
Equally share the creme fraiche between the pancakes, then dollop the compote on top and swirl together gently with a teaspoon. TIP: You don't want to mix them together completely, so be gentle.
Top each pancake with some blueberries, then stack one on top of each other to create 1 stack per person.
Transfer a pancake stack to each of your plates.
Arrange your honey bacon on top of your pancake stacks and scatter over the toasted almonds.
Drizzle with the remaining honey to finish. Enjoy!
