I love sugar and I'm not afraid to say it, so this pancake day I'm planning to go crazy for sweet pancakes. If you're like me and have a monster sweet tooth, you're going to love love love these simple banana pancakes, with a choice of three different fillings, mmmmmm.
First up, here's how to make the quick and easy batter.
Ingredients
150g Plain Flour
1 tbs Sugar
2 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Salt
300 ml Water (For a even smoother batter use 250 ml water and 50 ml soya milk)
1 tbs Sunflower Oil
1 Mashed up Banana
Now simply mix the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder together, now add the water, oil and banana and stir until most of the lumps are gone! (You'll have a few left because of the banana.)
Grease your chosen pan lightly, too much grease will result in oily pancakes! Get the pan nice and hot, a good way to test if it's hot enough, is to drop the tiniest speck of batter into the pan, if it starts fizzing straight away you're good to go!
I chose to keep my ingredients simple and sweet, with a combination of raisin and chocolate, blueberry and maple syrup and of course, the classic lemon and maple syrup.
When cooking your pancakes, you'll know when to flip them by watching the edges. When they start to curl it's ready to flip! Aim for a lovely golden brown colour, like this.
For the raisin and chocolate, I poured the batter into the pan, then sprinkled on a handful of raisins. I then flipped the pancake and once cooked served with chocolate grated over the top.
It's the same with the blueberries, pour your batter on, then add the blueberries before flipping. The heat makes the blueberries so soft and yummy! Serve with maple syrup poured generously.
For the classic, simply cook your pancakes, smother in lemon and maple syrup and enjoy!
Happy pancake day everyone! Hope you all have fun experimenting and make sure you eat way too many!
