Caramelised Banana Pancakes

Ingredients

1 large egg 
3 1/2 oz/100 g flour, sifted 
pinch of salt 
1 cup half-fat milk 
1 oz/30 g butter, melted 
sunflower oil for greasing 
2 large, firm bananas, sliced 
3 tbsp Madeira, dessert wine or 2 tbsp Drambuie 
2-3 tsp tsp raw sugar 

Directions

Beat the egg, flour, salt and a little milk to form a smooth paste. Gradually mix in the 

remaining milk, then stir in the butter. Brush a non-stick, medium-sized frying pan with 

the oil and heat until very hot. Pour in 2-3 tablespoons of batter, swirling to cover the 

base of the pan.

Cook the pancakes for 1-2 minutes each side, until golden. Repeat to make 7 more, 

keeping the pancakes warm and layering them between sheets of baking paper to stop

them sticking. Preheat the grill to high. Wipe the pan, add the bananas and Madeira, 

wine or Drambuie and heat through gently, stirring. When most of the liquid has evaporated, 

place a spoonful of the banana mixture on each pancake, fold it into quarters and place in a 

flameproof dish. Sprinkle with the sugar and grill until the tops of the pancakes are golden 

and lightly caramelized.
