Banana Pancake served with caramelised banana slices

After my posting for Carrot Pancake recently, I was challenged by my youngest son Aaron to try a hand on Banana Pancake, which according to his taste buds is yummy!  I have no doubt about it as bananas are our favourite fruit.  This is what I've come up with and it is indeed "Simple Yet Yummylicious!

What you need:

(A) Pancake Batter

3 medium bananas

1 1/2 cup self-raising flour (sifted)

2 eggs (lightly beaten)

1 tbsp honey

1 1/2 cup milk

1 1/2 tbsp melted butter

(B) Caramelised bananas

3 medium bananas

50g butter

80g golden syrup

Few simple steps:

1. Mash the bananas in a bowl.
2. Combine lightly beaten eggs, milk, melted butter, honey and mashed bananas in a jug.
3. In a mixing bowl, add in the sifted flour, make a well in the center and pour the mixed ingredients of (2) into the well, whisk until well combined and smooth.  I don't add all the mixed ingredients of (2) at one time, instead start with half of the mixture, whisk and gradually repeat until you get the right consistency of your liking.  If you prefer a much softer texture add in more milk.
4. Let the mixture stand for about 10 to 15 minutes.
5. Heat up a non-stick pan with a bit of oil, ladle the mixture into the pan, using low heat cook until little bubbles start to appear on the topside of the pancake, then turn over and cook until golden brown.
6. Dish up and repeat until all is done.
7. For the caramelised bananas, peel the bananas and halved lengthwise.
8. In a small heated pan, add the butter and golden syrup, bring to a boil, reduce the heat and allow the mixture to simmer and bubble for about one minute.
9. Add in the banana slices, continue to simmer and ensure that the bananas are evenly caramelised, turning once until the sauce thickens.  Remove the pan from the heat.
10. Plate the banana pancake with the caramelised bananas according to your liking. Served warm.

Notes:  If you prefer your caramelised bananas to be sweet and soft use fully ripe bananas, but if you much like them slightly sour, sweet and a not-too-soft texture, then a just ripe banana is best. Increase the amount of butter and golden syrup if you want more sauce to serve your pancake.
