1. Heat oven to 230C/fan 210C/gas 8. Make up the batter as stated in the pancake recipe and set aside. Grease a large, round, ceramic dish, about 22cm wide, and dust it with the grated Parmesan.
2. Heat the butter in a frying pan. Sizzle the bacon for about 5 mins until crisp, then leave to cool. Tip the bacon, onion and cheddar into the batter and stir until completely combined. Tip the batter into the prepared dish so it comes almost to the top, then bake for 30-35 mins until puffed up and golden. Bring piping hot to the table and serve straight from the dish with a crisp salad.

  I made this for my family who thoroughly enjoyed it I made the following alterations: I used very strong Canadian Cheddar as we don't like Parmesan, I didn't have any spring onions so I used chopped onion and lightly softened it before frying the bacon. I served it with sausages, creamy mash and baked beans. I will definately be making this again.

  This is a "bendy" recipe:- you can use any good, strong cheese, I used the bits and bobs left in the fridge, including pecorino, and it was fab. I also like to use red onion for colour, and it was a great way to use up the leftovers from a gammon joint - terrific for the day before payday, when the store cupboard comes into its own!

  Used onion instead of spring onions and used far too much cheese cause that's what Hubbie likes and he loved this. Will definately make again.

  A perfect weeknight meal- even the kids loved it! Have made it as written and also making substitutions with what I've had on hand. Always a winner!
