September 8, 2011 at 8:22 PM · Filed under Recipes and tagged: Baking powder, Banana, Buttermilk, Egg (food), Pancake, recipe, Sodium bicarbonate, Sugar

Ingredients:
1 cup Maida
1 tablespoon White Sugar
2 teaspoons Baking Powder
½ teaspoon Baking Soda
¼ teaspoon Salt
1 Egg, beaten
1 cup Buttermilk
2 tablespoons Sunflower Oil
2 Large Ripe Plantains or 4 Small Ripe Bananas, mashed

Directions:
Tip: The key to making light, fluffy pancakes is to first mix the wet & dry ingredients separately and then combine them both.

1. Combine the dry ingredients: maida, white sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, mix together the wet ingredients: egg, buttermilk, oil and bananas. Tip: If you don’t have buttermilk, just squeeze some fresh lime into a cup of warm milk and let it stand for a about 15 minutes before adding to the mixture.
3. Stir the dry mixture into the wet mixture; batter will be slightly lumpy.
4. Heat a non-stick tava over medium heat.
5. Scoop the batter onto the tava, using approximately 1 curry ladle for each pancake, spreading it lightly with the back of the ladle in a clockwise, circular motion, as one would do a dosa. Tip: If a non-stick tava is used, oil is not required, but if necessary, only slightly oil the pan.
6. Cover the tava with a steel lid so it cooks quicker & better on the inside.
7. Cook until the pancakes are golden brown on both sides.
8. Serve hot with honey or pancake syrup.
9. Enjoy!
