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.
