Make breakfast special with these delicious coffee flavoured pancakes, served with pan-fried bananas and golden syrup – these “Fairtrade” friendly pancakes use Fairtrade coffee AND bananas and are the perfect way to start any day!
Directions
| Step 1 | Sift all the dry ingredients together in a bowl and then add the beaten eggs, buttermilk (or milk) and the coffee. Beat together with a whisk until the mixture is thick and frothy. |
| Step 2 | Pre-heat oven to 100C, to keep the pancakes warm as you make them. |
| Step 3 | Heat a little butter in a heavy based frying pan or a griddle, and using a ladle, add one spoon of pancake mixture to the pan/griddle. Cook over a medium heat until small bubbles appear on top of the pancakes, then turn them over with a spatula and cook for a further minute on the other side. Continue to cook the pancakes until all the batter is finished. |
| Step 4 | Place the cooked pancakes on a heat-proof plate, cover and keep them warm in the oven until you are ready to serve them. |
| Step 5 | To serve: heat a little butter in a frying pan and add the sliced bananas – cook them until they are just golden brown. Place three pancakes on each plate; divide the bananas between the pancakes, and drizzle with golden syrup, before sprinkling some cocoa powder over the top. |
