Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh produce and pantry staples at local markets and grocery stores throughout Honiara. Choose ripe, firm bananas for the best caramelization, and high-quality cocoa powder for a richer chocolate flavor. If preferred, salted butter can be used as a substitute for unsalted butter or margarine to add extra depth to the sauce.
Preparation method
- Blend the flour, milk, egg, sugar, and cocoa powder in a blender until you reach a smooth consistency.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan lightly greased with a bit of oil over medium heat.
- Pour a shallow ladleful of batter into the pan, spread it out, 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.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar and water until it starts to form a syrup.
- Add the bananas, cut into large chunks, to the syrup, reduce the heat, and let them caramelize gently.
- In a separate pan, whisk together the butter, sugar, milk, and cocoa powder to prepare the chocolate topping.
- Cook the chocolate sauce over low heat for approximately 8 minutes until it thickens.
- Distribute the caramelized bananas over each pancake, fold them, and arrange them on a serving platter.
- Drizzle the hot chocolate sauce over the pancakes or serve individually on dessert plates.
