Is it just not soooooooooooooo satisfying to start your day with a pile of pancakes dripping with maple syrup... or honey.. or just simple and absolutely amazing chocolate sauce...
I think the loook of that gorgeous disk of ecstacy just makes my day... wat a wonderful start... and wat better than a banana and raisin pancake... Just marvelous...

1 cup refined flour.
2tsp baking pd.
1/4 tsp salt
1 egg
1 cup milk
30g melted butter
1 heaped tbsp. powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla essence
a handfull of raisins
2 banans medium
honey or maple syrup or chocolate sauce to serve.

Recipe.





  • seive together the dry ingredients.


  • beat the egg well and add the sugar vanilla essence and melted butter to the same. and beat to get a nice and creamy consistency


  • mash the bananas well and seap the raisins in warm milk.


  • and the wet ingredients slowly into the dry one and mix well.


  • if too dry add a bit of milk and flour if too wet.


  • leave in the fridge either for a minimum of 15 mins... or overnight to make for breakfast the next day...


  • heat a non stick pan and simple rub on it with a greased paper towel piece...


  • once nice and hot reduce to sim and pour one ladle of the pancake mixture onto the pan. don not touch just pour it over to form a circle. leace to cook.


  • once it starts bubbling and begins to leave the sides slowly flip it over.


  • and allow to be done on the other side


  • it should get a nice and golden colour...


how much ever u feel like presseing it down so it cooks faster don u dare touch it. It defeats all the purpose of making it light and fluffy. And yeah always cook it on sim it gives this beautiful golden hew. Stack it up and serve to your guests it keeps them warm. never cover cause then it'll get soggy...



just pour over watever u wish on it and seriously ENJOY.......
