Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas mark 6.
Quarter the pear lengthways (no need to peel), remove the core and thinly slice.
Pop the pancakes onto a large baking tray in a single layer.
In a small bowl, mix together the soured cream and half the honey. Set aside for later. TIP: If your honey has hardened, pop it in a bowl of hot water for 1 min.
Lay the bacon in a single layer onto a lined baking tray.
Once the oven is hot, bake on the middle shelf of your oven until golden brown and crispy, 10-15 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw meat. Cook bacon thoroughly.
While the bacon cooks, pop a large frying pan on medium-high heat.
Melt the butter in the pan, then add the pear slices, remaining honey, the cinnamon and a pinch of salt.
Cook the pears until softened and sticky, 4-6 mins, turning every min.
Once softened, remove from the heat and set aside.
Meanwhile, pop the pancakes on the top shelf of the oven to warm through, 2-3 mins.
Once warmed, remove the pancakes from the oven and spread the honey cream evenly on top of each.
Transfer the pancakes to your plates (2 per person) and place one on top of the other to make pancake stacks.
Top with the honeyed pears, spooning over all the juices from the pan.
Finish with the crispy bacon and a sprinkling of toasted almonds.
Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavour: Many enjoyed the combination of pears, cinnamon, and honey, though some found it overly sweet or rich.
- Ease of prep: Cooking bacon in the oven was a revelation for some; others appreciated the simplicity of the dish.
- Suggestions: Consider using yoghurt or crème fraîche instead of soured cream for a thicker consistency. Add orange juice to the pears for extra flavour.
- Next-day meals: Leftovers work well as a dessert when paired with clotted cream instead of bacon.
- Texture: Some found the cinnamon powdery; ensure it's well incorporated when cooking the pears.
