Where to find ingredients
You can find all ingredients, including fresh bananas and cocoa powder, at major supermarket chains like Pick n Pay or Spar in the baking and produce aisles. Substitutions: You may use margarine if butter is unavailable, and any high-quality baking cocoa powder works well for the batter and sauce.
Preparation method
- Blend the flour, milk, egg, sugar, and cocoa powder until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Heat a lightly oiled non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
- Pour a shallow ladle of batter into the pan, spread it evenly, cook until golden, and flip to cook the other side.
- Remove the pancakes from the pan and set them aside on a plate.
- Combine the sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat until it starts to form a syrup.
- Add the roughly chopped bananas to the syrup, reduce the heat, and let them caramelize gently.
- In a separate saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, milk, and cocoa powder to prepare the chocolate topping sauce.
- Cook the chocolate sauce over low heat for approximately 8 minutes until it thickens.
- Spoon the caramelized bananas onto each pancake, fold them, and arrange them in a serving dish.
- Drizzle the warm chocolate sauce over the pancakes or serve individually on dessert plates.
Observations
This sweet pancake recipe is a beloved classic that never fails to please the whole family. The chocolate batter is beautifully light, pairing perfectly with the comforting, caramelized banana filling. The secret to achieving the ideal texture is to ensure the batter is perfectly smooth in the blender and to use a good non-stick frying pan to prevent any sticking. For that professional chef's touch, drizzle with extra chocolate sauce before serving.
