  • Add all wet ingredients including the yolk but not the egg whites.
  • Mix together gently.
  • Fold in egg whites with a wooden spoon or spatula.
  • Heat 1 tsp butter in the frying pan and spread to cover the entire base of the pan.
  • Spoon 1 scoop of the batter into the pan and place a 2nd scoop directly into the middle of the first.

Notes

Cooks tips:
A little lumpy batter is ok as we don’t want to overwork the gluten.
Use tongs or a plastic spatula to flip the bananas (do not use silicone as they will slide).
