Banana cake...


the best recipe I've used to date was the one on this page http://www.exclusivelyfood.com.au/2006/0鈥?/a>


and I added half a cup of walnuts and some cinnamon for a unique flavour... also used lemon icing (lemon juice, butter and icing sugar)





Banana Pancakes


* Melted butter or margarine, to grease


* 3 ripe medium bananas, peeled, finely chopped


* 2 tbs brown sugar


* 1 1/2 tbs water


* 1 tbs light coconut milk (A Taste of Thai brand)


* Lime wedges, to serve


*


Pancake batter


* 225g (1 1/2 cups) self-raising flour


* 185ml (3/4 cup) light coconut milk (A Taste of Thai brand)


* 185ml (3/4 cup) reduced-fat milk


* 2 eggs, lightly whisked


* 1 tbs brown sugar





Method





1. To make the pancake batter, sift the flour into a medium bowl and make a well in the centre. Whisk together the coconut milk, milk, egg and sugar in a jug. Gradually add the milk mixture to the flour, whisking constantly, until batter is smooth and combined. Set aside for 20 minutes to rest.


2. Preheat oven to 100掳C. Brush a large non-stick frying pan with melted dairy spread and heat over medium-high heat. Add the banana to the batter and stir until combined. Pour two 60ml (1/4-cup) quantities of pancake batter into the pan, allowing room for spreading. Cook for 2 minutes or until bubbles appear around the edges and pancakes are golden brown underneath (the batter will appear uncooked in the centre). Carefully turn pancakes and cook for a further 1 minute or until golden brown and cooked through.


3. Transfer pancakes to a heatproof plate and cover loosely with foil. Place in preheated oven to keep warm. Repeat, in 5 more batches, with the remaining batter, greasing and reheating pan between batches.


4. Combine the sugar, water and coconut milk in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until sugar dissolves. Transfer to a jug.


5. Divide the pancakes among serving plates and drizzle with sauce. Serve immediately with lime wedges.
