Grilled Banana Pancakes
Pancakes with grilled Banana, Frangelico Chocolate Sauce and roasted Hazelnuts / Kate Martens (p)
“A class that springs to mind is our Thai-flavours course. It was inspired by a trip to Thailand, a few years back, but fond memories linger and today I’m going to share an exciting recipe with you. It comprises a hot, seared sliced banana with deliciously-decadent chocolate sauce all wrapped inside a pancake – and heated. While writing these words I recall walking down the streets of Bangkok.”
Pancakes with grilled Banana, Frangelico Chocolate Sauce and roasted Hazelnuts
Serves: 4 portions
Pancakes:
Ingredients:
- 250ml Cake Flour
- Pinch fine ORYX Salt
- 250ml Full Cream Milk

Grilled Banana:
Ingredients:
- 30gr Salted Butter
- 2 Whole Bananas, peeled and cut into about 2cm slices.
Method:
- In a frying pan, melt the butter, when nice and sizzling, add the banana slice. Fry them on both sides, getting them fried until golden do not over – fry as this will make them mushy. Set aside.

Putting the dish together:
