Pancakes
- 3 eggs
- 2 tbsp caster sugar
- 100g plain flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 80ml milk
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp sunflower oil
Toppings
- 5 tbsp dulce de leche
- 2 bananas, sliced
- 1 digestive biscuit, crumbled
- grated chocolate, to serve
- Prepare the batter: Separate the eggs. Place the egg whites in one bowl and 2 of the yolks in a separate bowl, reserving the third yolk for another use. Mix the egg yolks with caster sugar, plain flour, baking powder, and milk until smooth to form the pancake batter.
- Whip egg whites: Using an electric whisk or by hand, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they are fluffy and hold their shape. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the yolk mixture carefully to preserve the airiness of the batter.
- Cook pancakes: Heat the butter and sunflower oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Pour a quarter of the batter (or half for larger pancakes) into the pan and cook each side for 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat for the remaining batter to make 4 smaller or 2 larger pancakes. Keep pancakes covered to stay warm.
- Warm dulce de leche: Gently warm the dulce de leche in a small saucepan until it loosens and is easier to spread.
- Assemble and serve: Place the pancakes on plates, then top with sliced bananas, warmed dulce de leche, crumbled digestive biscuit, and a sprinkle of grated chocolate. Serve immediately for a deliciously indulgent treat.
Notes
- Use fresh bananas for the best flavor and texture.
- Be gentle when folding egg whites to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
- Keep cooked pancakes covered to retain warmth while preparing the rest.
- If dulce de leche is too thick, warming it slightly makes it easier to drizzle over pancakes.
- Grated chocolate can be dark, milk, or white depending on your preference.
- You can double the recipe easily for larger groups.
