Jolly Boys - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 tablespoons plain flour
1 egg
5 fluid ounces milk
1 pinch salt
4 slices bacon
1 teaspoon unsalted butter or 1 teaspoon lard

Preparation

Make a batter with the flour, egg and milk and a pinch of salt.
It should be the consistency of heavy cream and run quickly off the spoon.
After frying the bacon in butter or lard, remove it to a plate to keep hot.
Increase the heat under the frying pan and put in a tablespoon of batter.
This will run into an oval shape and rise up in the middle.
Baste it with hot fat as you would a fried egg and dish up at once with the bacon.
