Ingredients

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 cup refined flour

  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • 1/2 cup milk

  • 3 tablespoons sugar

  • 1/2 banana, thinly sliced

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Step 1: Whisk the Eggs

In a bowl, crack open the eggs. Add 1 tablespoon of sugar and the salt, then whisk well until the mixture is smooth and combined.

Step 2: Make the Pancake Batter

Gradually add the milk, refined flour, and vanilla essence to the whisked eggs. Mix thoroughly to create a smooth, lump-free batter.

Step 3: Prepare the Caramel Mixture

In a pan, heat 2 tablespoons of sugar with 1 tablespoon of water over medium heat. Stir until the sugar melts and begins to caramelize. Add the thinly sliced banana pieces to the pan, spreading them evenly, and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.

Step 4: Cook the Pancakes

Pour 2–3 ladlefuls of the pancake batter over the caramelized bananas in the pan. Spread the batter gently to ensure it covers the bananas evenly. Let it cook until the bottom side turns golden brown. Flip carefully and cook the other side until golden and fully set.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Repeat the process with the remaining batter and banana slices. Serve the caramel pancakes warm with your choice of caramel sauce, maple syrup, or chocolate drizzle. Add fresh fruit for an extra pop of flavor.
