BEN'S BANANA PANCAKES

Posted On: 2014-12-15 16:21:28

These pancakes are simple to make & delicious to eat.

Whisking the egg whites gives them an incredible lightness & lovely fluffy texture.

Mashing the banana into the batter adds sweetness without adding sugar & also gives additional banana flavour.

You can finish these with fresh fruit, berries & nuts to make it even tastier, or go all out & grate over some dark chocolate for a special treat.

INGREDIENTS:

3 medium Bananas

2 Eggs, seperated

100 grams Yoghurt, plus more to serve

50 grams Butter, melted & cooled plus more for cooking

150 ml Milk

½ teaspoon Vanilla paste, or essence

½ teaspoon Salt

1 cup Self raising flour

50 ml Honey, golen or maple syrup to serve + add to shopping list

DIRECTIONS:

Mash one banana with a fork & then whisk together with the egg yolks.

Mix in the yoghurt & melted butter, then add the milk & vanilla essence & whisk until smooth.

Add the salt & flour & stir until just combined & a batter is formed.

Whisk the egg whites until they form soft peaks.

Fold into the batter half at a time trying to keep as much air as possible in the batter (if you prefer a thinner pancake you can add a little more milk).

Slice the other bananas into half centimetre slices.

Add a little butter to a medium hot non-stick frying pan & then place banana slices in groups of three for each pancake.

Allow them to cook for 2 minutes.

Pour 2 tablespoons of batter over each group of bananas to form a pancake & allow to cook for 2-3 minutes until the top has bubbles & is starting to dry out a little.

Carefully flip & cook on the other side another 1-2 minutes.

Remove, keep warm & serve in a stack with honey & natural yoghurt.
