  1. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the plain flour, egg, milk, nutmeg, and salt until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Pour the pancake batter to evenly cover the base, cooking for 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Transfer the pancake to a cutting board and allow it to cool slightly.
  3. While the pancake is cooling, fry the bacon in the same pan to retain the flavour. Cook until crispy, then remove the bacon, leaving the fat in the pan. Cut the bacon into small bits and set aside for garnish.
  4. Slice the cooled pancake into thin strips about 1cm wide. Return these strips to the pan with the bacon fat and fry them until they are slightly crispy and golden brown. Remove and set aside.
  5. In a small saucepan, bring the chicken stock to a gentle simmer. Season with black pepper.
  6. To serve, place the crispy pancake strips in a bowl, pour over the hot chicken stock, and sprinkle with chopped spring onion and bacon bits for garnish.
