Banana pikelets

Ingredients

• 1 medium ripe banana
• 1 cup (150gms) self raising flour
• 1 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• butter for greasing
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

1. 1

   Sift the flour. Add the flour, baking powder and cinnamon if using to a bowl and mix well.

2. 2

   Peel the banana and add to separate bowl. Mash well.

3. 3

   Add egg and milk and mix well.

4. 4

   Heat up the frying pan. Add a little butter, then wipe carefully with a paper towel, taking care not to burn yourself.

5. 5

   Add a little more butter.

6. 6

   Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. It doesn't matter if there are a few small lumps of banana left.

7. 7

   Ladle the pikelet mix into the hot frying pan. I use about half a ladle per pikelet and can fit three to four pikelets into a frying pan. You can make them smaller if you prefer.

8. 8

   Cook on one side until the pikelets are bubbling and starting to firm up around the edges.

9. 9

   Flip over with an egg flip and cook on the other side until just golden brown.

10. 10

    Remove from frying pan and repeat until all the pikelet mix is cooked.

    Pop onto a plate and you're done!

    Fabulous on there own, with some fresh fruit for a healthy snack or a drizzle of maple syrup or honey for a treat. Delicious!
