Banana Pancakes (Without Egg)

There was one fine morning when I totally ran out of breakfast ideas and my husband was already bored of having the same old cereals, fruits and bread! I quickly remembered the Banana pancake recipe that I saw on a famous cookery TV show. Here it is for you.

Ingredients:

Self-Raising flour (Maida) – 3 cups
Powdered sugar – 1 ½ cups
Milk – 2 cups
Riped Banana – 2 nos., sliced into round shape
Baking powder – 2 teaspoon
Salt - A pinch
Cardamom powder – ½ teaspoon
Oil/Butter – For frying
Egg substitute – 1 teaspoon of baking powder + 2 teaspoons of olive oil + 4 teaspoon of water
Honey, Cream – For garnishing (optional)

Method:

1. Mix flour, powdered sugar, baking powder, salt and cardamom powder in a deep bowl

2. Slowly whisk together milk to the mixture making sure that no lumps are formed. Add more milk or water accordingly. It should have the dropping consistency like that of the dosa batter.

3. Add the baking powder + olive oil + water mixture to the above and set aside.

4. Heat a tawa and pour the above batter on the hot tawa spreading it with the help of the back of the ladle.

5. Now place the cut bananas on top of the pancakes and slightly press them so it gets set to the pancake or it may fall down when you flip them.

6. Fry on both the sides till it turns golden brown in color using oil/butter.

7. Drizzle a few drops of honey and cream on top of it and serve hot.

Tips:

1. You can increase the richness of the pancake by adding half a cup of condensed milk after reducing the amount of powdered sugar by half.

2.  Similar pancakes can be made using finely chopped pieces of Mangoes, Apple and dry fruits.

3. Whole-wheat flour can also be used in the place of Maida or a combination of both will also work although some amount of sacrifice need to be done on the fluffiness part.
