Flipping Good!

Excuse the title, it's actually the name of the recipe we tried from a cookbook Ben and Jas got for Christmas!

Mixing together the ingredients.....

Jasmine carefully chops the bananas

Licking the bowl and spoons

Ben pours the batter into the frying pan - supervised of course!

FINISHED RESULT:

The original recipe vs our interpretation

Ingredients:

150g self-raising flour

2tbsp caster sugar

1 large egg, lightly beaten

175ml milk3tbsp thick, plain yoghurt, plus extra to serve

275g frozen mixed summer fruits, defrostedmaple syrup, to serve

we substituted the frozen mixed summer fruits for 2 medium bananas, sliced and then caramelised in a pan with some butter, ground cinnamon and a drizzle of golden syrup.we also substitued the youghurt for serving with double cream which we whipped up with vanilla essence and icing sugar

Method:

1. sift flour into a bowl and add sugar

2. mix together egg, milk and yoghurt, before adding to the flour and whicking until smooth and lump free

3. slice bananas and caramelise in a pan as described above

4. add 5ml of vanilla essence to small tub of dbl cream, and icing sugar to taste then whip up.

5. serve and enjoy!

We ate these for pudding and throughout Jasmine kept exclaiming: 'mmmm these pancakes are flipping good!' Parental instinct had us wanting to make her say something other than 'flipping', but as it was the recipe title we held out tongues!
