Where to find ingredients
You can find these staples at local Guyanese markets or supermarkets in the baking and produce aisles. For a richer flavor, use high-quality cocoa powder instead of standard drinking chocolate.
Preparation method
- Blend the flour, milk, egg, sugar, and cocoa powder in a blender until the batter is smooth
- Heat a non-stick frying pan greased with a little oil over medium heat
- Pour a shallow ladle of batter into the pan, spread it out well, wait for it to brown, and flip to cook the other side
- Remove the pancakes from the pan and set them aside on a plate
- Place the sugar and water in a saucepan over heat until it begins to form a syrup
- Add the bananas cut into large pieces to the syrup, lower the heat, and let them caramelize gently
- In another saucepan, mix the butter, sugar, milk, and cocoa powder to make the topping sauce
- Cook the chocolate sauce over low heat for about 8 minutes until it thickens
- Distribute the caramelized bananas over each pancake, fold them, and arrange them on a serving platter
- Drizzle the pancakes with the warm chocolate sauce or serve on individual plates
Observations
This sweet pancake recipe is a classic that pleases the whole family. The chocolate batter is light and pairs perfectly with the comforting touch of well-caramelized bananas. The secret to success is blending the batter until smooth and using a non-stick frying pan to ensure nothing sticks. Serving them with an extra drizzle of chocolate sauce adds that chef-like quality everyone loves.
