Directions

1
Wash parsley, shake dry and chop very finely. Mix eggs and milk with the whisk of the hand mixer. Mix flour, baking powder and 1 pinch of salt, stir in. Stir in parsley.
2
Let the dough swell for at least 20 minutes.
3
Cut the bacon slices in half crosswise and fry them crisply in a pan without fat. Take out and drain on kitchen paper. Set the pan aside.
4
Wash the asparagus and cut off the woody ends generously. Peel the white asparagus. Prepare Sauce hollandaise according to the basic recipe (see page 10) and keep warm.
5
In a large pot, boil up salted water with 1 teaspoon sugar. Cover and cook white asparagus for about 15 minutes, depending on the thickness. Cook the green asparagus for about 8 minutes.
6
Stir mineral water into the pancake batter. Heat the clarified butter in portions in the pan in the bacon fat. Pull the bacon strips through the dough one after the other, let them drip off a little and bake in the pan at medium heat until golden brown while turning.

Take out, keep warm.

Drain the asparagus well. Serve with sauce hollandaise, the different kinds of ham and bacon. Garnish with chervil. Small new potatoes in the skin taste good with it.
