Banana Pancakes

-



Light, fluffy banana pancakes, topped with roasted walnuts and maple syrup (or honey) and extra slices of banana- these pancakes are super easy to make on a lazy Sunday.

Seriously though, aren't pancakes the most easy and delicious breakfast on a lazy day? Using staple pantry ingredients, you can cook a delicious and filling breakfast in no time. I also love pancakes for their versatility. During the winter, treat yourself with pancakes loaded with spices; in the summer, use fresh blueberries for some zing and in the fall; make pumpkin pancakes.

However, these pancakes are evergreen. You just need very (extremely) ripe bananas and some good old wooden spoon. 

The recipe can be doubled or tripled for as many people as you like and is sure to bring a smile on your loved ones' faces.








EQUIPMENT:

  • Large bowl
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • Ladle/ Ice Cream scoop
  • Griddle / Non-Stick Pan
LIGHT & FLUFFY PANCAKES
Total Time: 20 minutes
Author: Shreeya Sawhney
Serving: 8 Pancakes

Ingredients:

       1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 2 ½ tsp baking powder
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 egg, room temperature
  • 1 cup milk, room temperature
  • 3 tbsp melted butter, plus more for the pan
  • 2 bananas very ripe, mashed
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Procedure:

In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt and set aside.

Mash the bananas in a separate bowl leaving some chunks for texture 

Whisk in the melted butter, vanilla extract, egg and milk; until incorporated thoroughly.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until just combined.

Place a large pan or griddle over medium heat and melt a dot of butter or some oil. 

Add about a third of a cup of batter using an ice-cream scoop or ladle to the pan and cook until golden on both sides. The underside will take about two minutes to cook, once golden and you see little holes on top, flip and cook for an additional minute or until golden.

Repeat the process for the remaining batter and serve warm with fruit, maple syrup and/or walnuts.

Spin It!

  • Use apple sauce or pumpkin puree instead of mashed bananas for some exciting flavours
  • Add more sugar, if you have a big sweet tooth
  • Play with the toppings: my favourites include apple compote, strawberry preserve, fresh blueberries and of course Nutella!

Imagine the best brownie, only with extra decadence and richness; with no added difficulty! This chocolate fondant is sure to leave your taste buds tingling. What is a chocolate fondant? Chocolate fondant is a small cake, fit for one person that is left semi-liquid in the middle. It is commonly called a Choco Lava cake and is reminiscent of Domino's selling them in India. Fondant comes from the French word "fondre" meaning "to melt".  Important Tips? 1. Make sure your ramekins are well greased with fat (preferably, butter) and add an extra layer of surety dust with some cocoa powder for a easier release later. 2. Melt the chocolate over a bain-marie or simply put a bowl over a pot of heating water. Make sure the bowl is not touching the water or else the chocolate will seize (yes, chocolate has a heart too!). 3. Make sure all your ingredients are room temperature i.e. the ambient temperature in your house. This will ensure easier mixing and give you the best res...
