Fancy Some Banana pancakes?

Banana pancakes drizzled with maple syrup
I had the pleasure of staying overnight at a friends place yesterday. Facing the world after a double espresso, I contemplated making some pancakes for my kind hosts thanking them for their generous hospitality. While they were still catching 40 winks, I tinkered around the kitchen finding the ingredients needed for a semi luxurious breakfast. I hadn’t cooked pancakes in years and I really wanted to try out a recent recipe scoured from the internet. Past pancake recipes had yielded me rubber discs void of any texture. This time, armed with experience, I made sure no to overbeat the mixture to oblivion. A few bananas lying around provided me the topping I needed along with the organic maple syrup found in the pantry. My hosts were good shoppers so i had everything I needed at hand. Follow this recipe for a fool proof rubber free result.
Fluffy and delicious
PANCAKE RECIPE
1 & 1/4 cups of self raising flour
3/4 cup of milk
pinch of salt
1 tsp of caster sugar
1 egg
Dash of vanilla extract
60 g of melted butter
1. Sift the flour into a bowl and add the remaining dry ingredients.
2. Mix all the wet ingredients together.
3. Make a well in the centre of the bowl with the dry ingredients and gradually pour in the milk mixture.
4. Using a balloon whisk mix everything till its just combined. DO NOT OVERBEAT!!!!
5. Let the mixture rest in the refrigerator for about 15-20 mins
6. Take the mixture out and dollop amounts onto a medium hot pan. Use either a soup ladle or a large tablespoon. If the mixture seems a little thick, thin it out using a little milk, BEFORE placing onto hot pan.
7. As you make pancakes transfer onto a plate and keep covered with a tea towel
8. Top with your favourite ingredients. I used bananas because they were on hand. Drizzle with maple syrup or honey.
9. Consume immediately!
Eat me!
