Pancakes with Banana & Maple Syrup

Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 200 g plain flour
• 250 ml milk
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1 pinch salt
• 4 tbsp maple syrup
• 2 tbsp melted butter
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 3 bananas, sliced

Method

1. Whisk the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt together in a large bowl.
2. In a jug, beat the eggs, milk and melted butter until smooth. Pour into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined — a few lumps are fine, and overmixing makes them tough.
3. Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add a small knob of butter, swirling to coat. Drop in small ladlefuls of batter, leaving room to spread.
4. Cook for around 2 minutes, until bubbles rise to the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for another minute until puffed and golden underneath.
5. Keep the cooked pancakes warm in a low oven while you work through the rest of the batter, adding a little more butter to the pan between batches.
6. Stack the pancakes high on warm plates, tumble over the sliced banana and pour maple syrup generously over the top.
