Banana Pancakes

For my next installment in my Valentine's Day series of recipes for 2, I present a breakfast recipe (yes if you two wake up at 1PM on the weekend, it's still breakfast!) My black bananas usually go to making banana cake - these pancakes are virtually the same recipe as a cake, just with pan-frying instead of baking in a cake tin. I always let the bananas turn absolutely black and festy, to get maximum flavour and sweetness out of them. This recipe yields about 6 pancakes so if either of you are extra hungry, simply double the recipe. Maple syrup is a must.


BANANA PANCAKES
First, mash 1 ripe banana really well.

Make your batter in a bowl:
- Place 1 cup self-raising flour, 1 tsp salt and 4 tbsp brown sugar
- Mix in 50g melted butter and 1 egg
- While mixing, pour in 200ml buttermilk
- Fold in the mashed banana
Fry on low heat until bubbles appear
Carefully flip and cook for about a minute on the other side.
