BANANA BUTTERMILK HOTCAKE WITH LIME SYRUP



INGREDIENTS
  • 225g (1 1/2 cups) self-raising flour
  • 1 tablespoon caster sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 250ml (1 cup) Dairy Farmers buttermilk
  • 2 ripe bananas, peeled, mashed
  • 2 eggs, lightly whisked
  • 1 x 400ml can coconut milk
  • 100g (1/2 cup, firmly packed) brown sugar
  • 4 fresh lime leaves, coarsely shredded
  • Melted butter, to grease
  • Fresh lime leaves, extra, coarsely shredded, to serve
  • Lime wedges, to serve
  • Vanilla ice-cream, to serve

DIRECTION

  • Preheat oven to 100°C.
  • Combine the flour, caster sugar and cinnamon in a large bowl. Make a well in the center.
  • Whisk together the buttermilk, banana and egg in a jug.
  • Gradually add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture, whisking constantly until a smooth batter forms.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and set aside for 20 minutes to rest.
  • Meanwhile, combine the coconut milk, brown sugar and lime leaves in a medium saucepan over high heat. Bring to the boil.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until the sauce thickens slightly.
  • Remove from heat and discard the lime leaves. Transfer to a jug.
  • Brush a large non-stick frying pan with a little of the melted butter to lightly grease and heat over medium heat.
  • Pour two 60ml (1/4-cup) quantities of batter into the pan, allowing room for spreading. Cook for 1 1/2-2 minutes or until bubbles appear on the surface and pancakes are golden underneath.
  • Turn and cook for a further 1 minute or until golden.
  • Transfer to a heatproof plate and cover loosely with foil.
  • Place in oven to keep warm.
  • Repeat, in 5 more batches, with the remaining melted butter and batter, reheating the pan between batches.
  • Divide the hotcakes among serving plates.
  • Drizzle over the lime syrup and top with extra lime leaves.
  • Serve immediately with lime wedges and ice-cream, if desired.
