Banana Pancakes

Use pisang emas to make this, it makes the pancakes so much more sweeter and flavourful than the more commonly available pisang berangan or montel.



Also, i burned about five pancakes when i first started cooking it because i wasn't controlling the fire well! Then later as i got the hang of it, i was having two pans going at the same time.

This must be cooked on low heat. Actually, ideally it should be low fire on both the inner and the outer ring of the burner, but i don't think there's any burner that does this. Low heat means only the inner ring is burning. So you need to be careful that the centre bottom of the pancakes dont get burnt while the outer part is still uncooked.
