My mum will strongly disagree with this but I had my first ever taste of Pancakes in my student flat in Sheffield- made for me by my best-friend.
He was taken aback by the fact that I’d never had pancakes with honey and bananas. He told me it was the best ever combination and I wasn’t convinced; he started to get the ingredients and the mixing bowl and I wasn’t convinced; I watched him mix eggs and flour and water and I wasn’t convinced; I watched him pour the batter (or is that dough?) into the non-stick pan that he had pre-heated to the perfect pancake-frying temperature and I still wasn’t convinced; I watched him double flip the pancake on the pan and I was half-convinced; he put it on a plate and chopped the bananas and drizzled the honey on top and I was nearly convinced; he rolled and packed the pancake, offered it to me and as soon as I took the first bite, I was sold!
Pancakes with Honey and Banana- nearest thing to soulfood, if there ever was…
I absolutely love pancakes, have tried many different types but have to agree with Mumu that it’s best with banana and honey.Here is my mum’s recipe for the honey and banana pancake, it has never disappointed me.
Banana Pancake Recipe Ingredients
2 cups all purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 ¾ cups whipping cream
2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
1 egg
3 tablespoons honey or sugar
½ teaspoon of vanilla
¾-1 cup mashed ripe banana (or 2 large ripe bananas)
Banana Pancake Recipe Directions
Heat griddle or stove top skillet to medium heat.
Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; then set mixture aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together whipping cream, butter, egg, honey, mashed banana, and vanilla.
You can substitute milk or cream if you’d like.
Add to dry ingredients, stirring just until moistened. Spray a large skillet or griddle with your choice of nonstick spray, or brush with butter.
For each pancake, drop ½ cup batter onto skillet, spreading it out to make a 4-inch circle.
Cook until it is lightly browned underneath and bubbles are starting to pop on top.
(Check often, as the sugar in these may cause them to burn more quickly; adjust the heat as needed.)
Turn over and cook other side until lightly browned.
Now enjoy….
