I adore pancakes I don't think there is anything more sinful that I could ever have for breakfast. So today I decided to completely indulge myself and make a batch of cinnamon banana pancakes and have them drowned in the amazing Pure Maple syrup my darling Mila has given me.
Realized pancakes are probably the easiest thing to make (I don't think that's a good thing for me!) and I had them ready in 5 mins flat. They were soft and hot and smothered in melted butter and maple syrup they were divine!
Serves 3-4
Ingredients
Maida 1 cup
Egg 1
Milk 1/2 - 1 cup (quantity can vary)
Baking powder 1/2 tsp
Cinnmom 1/4 tsp
Castor sugar 1 tbsp
Oil 2 tsp
Banana 1 (very ripe)
Butter
Maple syrup/honey
Method
With a whisk just mix all dry ingredients. Add the egg and beat the same, it will be lumpy don't worry about it. Add oil and sugar and mix some more. Slowly add the milk and keep vigorously mixing till the mix is smooth and falls well. Add the mashed up banana and mix well.
Heat a non stick pan and pour one large spoonful of batter. Once the edges have started forming little bubbles you know its time to flip. Cook for a few mins on each side.
Smother the butter on when just off the pan and watch it melt into the pancake. Pour maple syrup and serve. Serve 2-4 pancakes per person
I hate wasting anything. As I child I used to get whacked for leaving even a morsel on my plate and as a result I never take anything more than I need, hence never waste. But sometimes there are left overs from the night before (not due to any fault of mine!) and I love using them the next day for breakfast or a quick snack.
