Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup of self-raising flour, 1 tbsp of sugar, and 1 tsp of cinnamon. Mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mash the two bananas until smooth.
- Add 1 cup of buttermilk and the 2 eggs to the mashed bananas, and mix thoroughly.
- Gradually add the banana mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's fine if there are a few lumps.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with a small amount of butter or cooking spray.
- Pour approximately 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each hotcake. Cook until bubbles start to form on the surface, and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the hotcakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side, until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust the heat as necessary to ensure even cooking.
- While the hotcakes are cooking, pour 1.5 cups of coconut milk into a small saucepan.
- Add 1/2 cup of brown sugar to the coconut milk.
- Option: if you have kaffir lime leaves, add them to the mixture for an authentic flavor. If not, a few drops of lime juice or lime zest will also work.
- Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar has dissolved, and the syrup is slightly thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let it infuse for a few minutes before straining out the kaffir lime leaves, if used.
- Plate the hotcakes, stacking them as desired.
- Generously drizzle the kaffir lime syrup over the top of the hotcakes.
- Optionally, garnish with extra banana slices, coconut flakes, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delectable Banana Buttermilk Hotcakes with Kaffir Lime Syrup while warm.
Tips:
- Ensure the bananas are ripe for maximum sweetness and flavor.
- Mix the batter gently to keep the hotcakes fluffy; overmixing can make them dense.
- Use a non-stick skillet or griddle to cook the hotcakes for even browning.
- Keep the heat at medium to avoid burning the hotcakes before they are fully cooked inside.
- You can keep the cooked hotcakes warm in a low oven (about 200°F/90°C) while you make the rest of the batch.
- Serve the hotcakes immediately after cooking for the best texture and flavor.
- For a richer flavor, you can use full-fat coconut milk in the kaffir lime syrup.
Banana buttermilk hotcakes with kaffir lime syrup are a perfect way to start your day with a taste of the tropics. These hotcakes are not only delicious but also easy to make. Whether you're cooking for a special occasion or just want to treat yourself, this recipe will elevate your breakfast game and leave you wanting more.
