Ingredients

Metric

Imperial

Banana pancakes

  • 135g of self-raising flour
  • 35g of caster sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 egg
  • 130ml of milk
  • 35g of butter, melted
  • 2 bananas, roughly mashed
  • 1 pinch of salt

Method

1
Mix together the dry ingredients in a bowl
2
In a separate bowl mix the egg with the milk, melted butter and bananas
3
Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. A few lumps here are ok, as if you overwork the mix your pancakes will be dense and heavy
4
Heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat with 1 tbsp of oil
5
Use a ladle to pour a little of the mix into the pan, you should be able to fit 3 at a time depending on the size of your pan
6
Cook until you see bubbles start to form in the pancakes and the undersides are a lovely golden brown
7
Carefully flip the pancakes and cook until browned well on both sides
8
Serve straight away with your choice of fruit, honey or cream. Sally has even added some vanilla to the cream for an added burst of flavour.
