Banana Pancakes - YUUUUUUMMMM!

You all know cooking is not my thing. Fortunately, however, I CAN cook and LOVE to cook pancakes. Was a die-hard "pancake shaker in a bottle" fan until my good friend Mad Moro taught me how to make them from scratch and I realised how easy it truly is.

Best thing? Cate adores pancakes :)

Even better thing? I usually have milk, eggs, baking soda, caster sugar and self raising flour on hand.

Here's how it went tonight. Cate is still being a bratty with what she will and won't eat. Sigh. She did, however, wolf down a banana for afternoon tea. I'm sick of cooking sausages and fish fillets for her dinner so decided it would be banana pancakes tonight instead. A bit of a sweet dinner, but what the hell, I knew it would get eaten for a change...and it did.

So my very basic baby pancake recipe goes like this:

*Dash of SR flour
*Sprinkle of Baking Soda
*Sprinkle of caster sugar
*Splash of milk
*1 egg

Mix thoroughly until a batter forms. Adjust ingredients until it just looks *right*. I know this is incredibly unhelpful in terms of recipes but everyone knows what pancake batter looks like, right?

Tonight I added half of a mashed banana to the pancake batter.

(If I am poshing pancakes up for grown ups I use buttermilk and more quantities of everything. The above only makes a tiny baby batter suitable for about five pikelets.)

Pour batter into heated frypan after adding butter to make sure the pancakes won't stick. Flip the pancake when it starts to bubble.

Oooooooo, yummy. The mashed banana gave these a real kick and they were a big hit, Cate had four!!! Mummy scoffed the rest ;)
