Ingredients

Method

1.
Combine the flour and baking powder in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Make a well in the centre of the mixture.
2.
Whisk in the egg and buttermilk until just combined, adding to the dry ingredients. Add the zucchini and stir to combine.
3.
Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Spray with oil. Spoon one-quarter of the zucchini mixture into the pan. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until bubbles appear on the surface.
4.
Turn and cook for another 3-4 minutes or until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
5.
Repeat with the remaining zucchini mixture, reheating the pan between batches.
6.

Meanwhile, heat a small non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook the bacon 

for 3-4 minutes on each side or until crisp.
7.

Combine the quartered cherry tomatoes, avocado, basil, red onion, garlic and vinegar in 

a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
8.

Serve the salad and bacon on top of the pancakes, sprinkling over pine nuts to taste, 

adding a touch of chilli if you like a bit of spice. Add balsamic over the pancake and a little on the plate for presentation.
