Ingredients
Scale
Pancakes
- 3 eggs
- 2 tbsp caster sugar
- 100g plain flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 80ml milk
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp sunflower oil
Toppings
- 5 tbsp dulce de leche
- 2 bananas, sliced
- 1 digestive biscuit, crumbled
- Grated chocolate, to serve
Instructions
- Separate eggs: Carefully separate the eggs, placing the whites in one bowl and two of the yolks in another bowl. Set aside the third yolk for another use.
- Make pancake batter: Mix the two egg yolks with caster sugar, plain flour, baking powder, and milk until you achieve a smooth paste without lumps.
- Beat egg whites: Using an electric whisk or by hand, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they become fluffy and hold their shape firmly.
- Fold whites into batter: Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the yolk mixture, taking care not to deflate the air to keep the batter light and airy.
- Cook pancakes: Heat butter and sunflower oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add a quarter of the batter (or half if making two larger pancakes) and cook each side for 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter to make 4 pancakes in total, keeping them covered to stay warm.
- Warm dulce de leche: Gently warm dulce de leche in a small saucepan until it loosens to a pourable consistency for easy topping.
- Assemble and serve: Place pancakes on two plates and top each with sliced banana, a drizzle of warm dulce de leche, crumbled digestive biscuit, and a sprinkle of grated chocolate. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For fluffier pancakes, make sure to gently fold the egg whites without overmixing.
- Use a non-stick pan to prevent sticking and ease flipping.
- You can substitute digestive biscuit with graham crackers or similar for a different flavor.
- Dulce de leche can be warmed in a microwave if preferred, in short intervals to avoid burning.
- Keep pancakes covered with foil or a clean towel while cooking to maintain warmth and softness.
