BANANA PANCAKES WITH ORANGE-VANILLA SAUCE

Steps:

• Make the batter by placing the melted butter, flour, eggs, salt and milk in a blender and whizzing until smooth.
• Alternatively, whisk the eggs and butter in a mixing bowl, then gradually add the flour with the salt and finally add the milk.
• Whisk until smooth.
• Cover the batter and chill for half an hour.
• Whisk again just before you make the pancakes.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce by zesting one of the oranges.
• Place the zest in a saucepan and juice both oranges into the pot.
• Add the sugar, 25g butter and the alcohol.
• Heat gently for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the butter melts and the sauce starts to thicken.
• Peel the bananas and cut on a slant into a few pieces.
• Drop into the sauce and cook for a couple minutes.
• Make the pancakes by heating a touch of oil in a non-stick frying pan.
• When the pan is very hot, pour in a bit of batter.
• If you are a pancake novice, start with 1/4 cup batter per pancake since a small pancake is easier to flip.
• Leave the batter to set, then flip with a spatula and cook for another 30 seconds.
• Remove from the pan onto a plate and keep covered.
• When the pancakes are cooked, put one on a serving plate.
• Cover one half of the pancake with a bit of sauce and a dollop of yoghurt.
