  2. Clean the mushrooms. Use the sunflower oil across batches in a frying pan over medium heat. Add ladlefuls of batter and swirl into thin pancakes. Cook for about 2 min on one side and 1 min on the other, until golden. Stack between baking paper sheets. Meanwhile, grill the bacon under the oven grill for about 4 min per side, until crisp. Halve the mushrooms and fry in the olive oil for about 4 min, until browned.
