Ingredients to make Banana Pancake:
- 4 ripe bananas
- 2 cups of self-rising flour
- 4 eggs
- 2 tablespoons of bicarbonate of soda
- 1 cup of sugar (200 grams)
- 1 lemon or orange
- 1 cup of powdered sugar (140 grams)
- 100 grams of lard or butter
How to make Banana Pancake:
- Preheat the oven to 180ºC. Once this is done, place the peeled and chopped bananas in a bowl and mash them with a fork until they have a puree texture. Add the melted butter and mix until well incorporated.
- Tip: You can also do this step with a processor.
- Add the sugar and mix until it dissolves and you don’t feel the grains. To make a healthy banana pancake, use brown sugar, brown sugar, or some sweetener.
- Add the eggs at the same time and continue beating until everything is well integrated.
- Add the flour and baking soda and beat until smooth and lump-free.
- Tip: To make the banana pancake fluffy, sift the flour before adding it.
- Once you have the dough ready, you can distribute it in different individual molds or pour it into a pudding dish or mold about 25 cm in diameter. In either case, bake the banana pancake in the middle of the oven. For individual molds, the cooking time is around 20 minutes, while for a large mold you should leave it for about 40 minutes.
- Trick: Grease the mold with butter or oil to prevent it from sticking.
- Check if the banana pancake is ready by poking it with a toothpick. If it comes out clean it means you can take it out of the oven. Let it cool down a bit before unmolding.
- Tip: If you have a baker’s or pastry rack, allow the banana pancake to finish cooling on it so that the dough does not get so moist
- For the glaze, put the icing or powdered sugar in a bowl with a few drops of citrus juice and mix.
- Powdered sugar absorbs a lot of liquid, so add the lemon or orange juice little by little until you gets the desired consistency.
- Decorate the banana pancake with the frosting and you’re done. As you can see, the banana pancake recipe is very easy and it leaves a really fluffy and delicious pancake.
