Here's a quick and easy Banana and Cinnamon Pancake recipe that you can use for Pancake Day - or any other day - which is not only perfect for students on a budget but also for everyone else :)
I use the basic Scotch Pancakes recipe from the NOSH student cookbook, which I highly recommend - although I haven't used it often.. but my housemate uses it frequently and her meals turn out so well!
Ingredients:
2 Eggs
1/4 Mug Sugar
1 Mug Self-raising flour
1/2 Mug Milk
White Flora or Oil to Fry
2 Bananas
2tsp Cinnamon
1. Put the eggs, sugar and flour in a bowl and beat with a fork or wooden spoon
2. Mash the bananas by first placing the bananas in a bowl and microwave them for 1min 30 secs in order to soften, so it'll be easier to mash them with a fork.
3. Mix in all of the mashed bananas and then slowly pour the milk in little by little until you get a smooth batter.
4. Preheat your pan to the highest heat setting and once its very hot, turn it down to the medium heat setting 5. Pour half a ladle into the saucepan and once you see bubbles, forming on the surface, turn the pancake over
6. Cook the other side until golden brown - try not to turn the pancake again as it would have less of a fluffy texture.
7. After both sides are golden brown, move the pancake onto a cooling rack (it prevents the pancake to condensate on the plate - you don't have to do it but I would highly recommend it) and after 2/3mins, move onto your serving plate and they're ready to eat ^_^
My perfect topping with these pancakes is Nutella but you can also try it with other toppings, such as fresh bananas, strawberries, honey etc. - Be creative!
I hope you try the recipe out and enjoy the delicious results!
making these tomorrow now! yumm xxx
ReplyDeleteI'll be looking forward to your pancake instagram post! hehe
DeleteThey look so good! I'm not a huge fan of banana in my pancakes (although I love it in any other kind of baking) so i'll just be making the traditional kind tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteThat's a shame >_< Why don't you try just putting in a bit a cinnamon to give it a nice sweetness to it?
