COOKING
1. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together milk and eggs. Now add the salt and flour and beat with the whisk until smooth. Let the batter sit for 10-15 minutes to thicken.
2. Place the bacon slices in a cold pan and cook over medium heat until they start to shrink and turn slightly brown. Then add a teaspoon of clarified butter and continue cooking the bacon for another 2-3 minutes—it should be dark pink but not too crispy.
3. Pour half of the batter over the bacon and let it cook for about 6-8 minutes. The batter should be fully cooked on one side, firm, and barely liquid before flipping.
4. Use a spatula to flip the pancake and cook for another minute on the other side, then transfer to a plate. Serve garnished with marjoram, freshly ground pepper, and microgreens.
