Ingredients

  • 45g salted butter
  • 15ml sunflower oil (1 tbsp)
  • 200g self-raising flour
  • 30g golden caster sugar or superfine sugar
  • 2 medium bananas well ripened
  • 120ml semi skimmed milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 100g milk chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Add the butter to a small microwaveable bowl and melt in the microwave at 20 second increments until fully melted. Once the butter melts, take out 1 tablespoon of the butter and add to a small container with the oil. Mix them together and set aside to cook the pancakes later. Also set aside the bowl with the rest of the butter to cool. 
  • To a larger bowl, add the flour and sugar, mix and set aside. To another bowl, add the bananas and mash to a purée. Whisk the milk into the bananas then whisk in the egg. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. Pour in the main bowl of cooled butter and combine until smooth then fold in the chocolate chips. Cover the bowl with some cling film and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Place a non stick frying pan on a low - medium heat then add a little of the butter-oil mixture that you set aside earlier. Allow the pan to heat until the oil is slightly sizzling. Take ¼ cup of batter (about 4 tbsps) and pour into the pan in a circle motion. Allow to cook for around 3 minutes or until the top of the pancake begins to bubble. Flip the pancake over and cook for another two minutes until both sides are golden brown. If the pancakes are browning too quick then reduce the heat.
  • Remove the pancake and place on a plate then repeat the process until you use up all the batter. If your frying pan is large, you can do two at a time. Grease the pan with the butter-oil mixture as required.
    Serve with syrup and extra chopped bananas or enjoy them alone.
