Banana Pancakes With Black Currant Sauce





Recently I've been obsessed with pancakes. I eat them almost every day and there's so much fun to experiment with the ingredients. Today I made myself a batch of banana pancakes. Actually I've never tried to mix mashed banana into the batter. I wasn't sure how much sugar to add and what consistency the batter should have to turn out soft and thick. And can you believe it? I was surprised with the results. The flavors were perfectly balanced. And luckily yesterday I found some frozen currants in my freezer (I had no Idea they were still there). If you like sweet and sour combo, follow the steps below.

1 large ripe banana, mashed
2 small eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup buckwheat flour
3/4 cup all purpose flour
pinch salt
2 tablespoons sugar

Approx. 1 cup of frozen black currants, thawed
2 tablespoons sugar
Sour cream, to serve 

Put the currants into a bowl. Sprinkle the sugar on top and let sit until sugar melts. 

Mix together the dry ingredients and set aside. In another bowl, beat the eggs and pour in the milk. Mix in the banana. Start adding wet ingredients into the dry ones. Mix until combined. Bake in a preheated frying pan until lightly browned on each side.

Serve with a dollop of sour cream and currants.

    1. It's impossible not to be obsessed with pancakes! They are almost every day food for me;D And I still have so many pancake ideas which have not been realized. For example, the first in my list are cappuccino pancakes. Doesn't this sound fantastic?!
