Recipe No. 3: American Pancakes of Banana-dreaminess (or just American Pancakes)

Ingredients:

Method: 1. Sieve the flour, baking powder and salt into a mixing bowl, stir in the sugar 2. Crack the egg into a separate bowl with the milk and whisk them together (this is kinda starting to sound like the French toast, but oh well!) 3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and beat (optional: add in banana slices now for really cool banana pancakes, or little bits of chocolate for chocolate pancakes!) and keep folding the mixture over itself until well mixed 4. Heat a small amount of oil in a frying pan and drop blobs of the mixture 5. Cook on one side for around a minute or until set, then turn over with a spatula to cook the other side (man, what is it with me and spatulas in my recipes!)

150 g plain flour 1 teaspoon of baking powder 3 pinches of salt 150ml milk 1 egg

30g caster sugar oil (for the pan)

Jesse’s recommendation: Once again, something really awesome is to serve with maple syrup and bacon. Why not try a banana too. I recommend that you cook the bacon before the pancakes. Always use maple syrup in moderation - it’s super sweet (yes, I did just copy and paste that from the eggy bread recipe) but if you made the recipe with the bananas inside it, then you only need bacon and maple syrup. It also makes the pancakes easier to manage. Recipe No. 4: Milk Fruit Smoothie (also known as milkshake without ice cream)

Ingredients (per person): 200g strawberries 1 banana 200 ml milk 1 tablespoon honey

Method: 1. Take the green bits off the strawberries then cut in half 2. Slice the banana (or bananas) into thin banana (…things? I don’t know the technical term, it’s just those banana shapes you get when you chop it into pieces, but whatever) 3. Put all the ingredients, including the cut strawberries and banana pieces into a blender and blend until it’s completely smooth 4. Pour the mix into a cup and drink with a straw

100ml natural yoghurt (if you prefer a milkshake, replace the yoghurt and honey with vanilla ice cream)

Jesse’s recommendation: Enjoy!
