1.
Drain the clams, reserving the liquid, and set aside. Put the liquid in a measuring jug and add enough water to make the volume up to 750 ml.

Heat the butter in a pan and gently fry the bacon until lightly browned. Remove the bacon from the pan and set aside.

Put the onion and garlic in the pan and cook gently until soft but not brown. Return the bacon to the pan and scatter over the flour. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring all the time.
