Sweetcorn pancake with bacon & tomatoes

Lee kiang made this for breakfast when we were in london. Sweetcorn pancake with bacon and drizzle with maple syrup. I was sceptical at 1st..how can pancake, bacon and maple syrup go together. Sweet and salty doesn't go together..so I thought. But I was wrong, they turned out to be delicious!! Still craving for more, I made this for brunch today..and C said it's as good as lee kiang's :D
Ingredients (makes 6)
3 eggs, separated
75g self raising flour
4 tbsp milk
100g sweetcorn kernel
2 tsp vegetable oil (for frying)
6 pieces of bacon (back or streaky), pan fried
2 tomatoes, halved and pan fried

1. In a large bowl, combine egg yolk, flour and milk. Mix together to get a thick batter.
2. In a separated bowl, whisk egg whites into soft peaks, then stir in half the egg whites into the batter. Gently fold in the rest. Mix until well combined.
3. Heat a tsp of oil, add 3 tbsp of batter (depending on the size) and sprinkle sweetcorn on top of pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the top and it's golden underneath.
Flip and cook on the other side for about 30 seconds.
4. Serve with bacon and tomatoes. Drizzle with maple syrup.
