No baking for this week. Just a really quick and easy recipe for Banana Pancakes - an extremely moreish snack.
Ingredients:
60g of natural peanut butter
or 50g of ground almonds
1 large overripe banana
1 egg
Oil or butter to fry
Method:
Mash the banana, beat egg, and add the ground almonds or peanut butter (I tend to use half and half).
Heat some oil/butter in a pancake pan. Once hot, drop spoonfuls of the mixture into the pan leaving space between each one. The consistency is thicker than traditional pancakes. Brown on one side, then flip over and cook for another few minutes.
Eat them plain as a snack, or with a dollop of yoghurt or ice cream and some berries, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
Enjoy.
Water is a source of life and vitality. As we age our bodies are less able to hold water so our skin sags, our bones become brittle, our hair drier, thinner and frizzy.
Introduced by Portuguese merchants in the 16th century, and adapted over time to suit Japanese tastes, this light bouncy sponge is considered a traditional Japanese speciality. More delicate and airy than a regular sponge cake, castella ( カステラ, kasutera) is famous for a fine and moist crumb.
