Banana Pikelets (Pancake) 
(recipe by Yen Li)
Ingredients:
1 ripe Banana (about 45g)
80ml fresh milk
1 tbsp olive oil / rice bran oil / melted butter
1/3 cup cake flour (Can use self raising flour and omit baking powder)
1/2 tsp aluminium free baking powder
1 egg (about 1/3cup size)
1/2 tbsp sugar/honey

Steps:
1) blend everything except the flour and baking powder with hand blender for 5 seconds.
2) add in flour and baking powder, stir well.
3) heat pan with little olive oil and wipe off with kitchen towel.
4) place the pan onto a damp cloth or water to cool down, return to fire
5 ) Use 1 tablespoon measuring spoon to scoop a spoonful of batter into the pan , cover with the lid. About 20 to 30 seconds, a number of holes on the surface of the pancake shall form, open the lid and it is ready to overturn the pancake. 
6 ) cook for another 30 seconds and done.
7) repeat steps 4-6 until all batter is finished ( I make 4 rounds)

P/S:
1) The above recipe yield 16 small pikelets, using same volume of batter, pikelet size will be more evenly ~
2 ) Do not put too much oil , you can drop a few drops of oil on the pan then wipe evenly by a kitchen towel paper.
3 ) Always use the smallest fire to avoid burnt.
4 ) I am using 32cm pan which can cook 4 pikelets at the same time.
5 ) To make nice pikelets, the cool down process must not skip!!

香蕉煎餅 
材料:
1條 熟香蕉(約45克)
80毫升 鮮牛奶
1湯匙 橄欖油/米糠油/酥油
1/3杯 低筋麵粉(可以用自發麵粉,並省略泡打粉)
1/2茶匙 無鋁泡打粉
1個 雞蛋
1/2湯匙 糖/蜂蜜

做法:
1) 用料理棒攪拌所有材料,除了麵粉和泡打粉。(打5秒)
2) 加入麵粉和泡打粉,攪拌均勻。
3) 加少许油在熱的平底鍋里,再用厨房纸巾擦匀。
4) 將平底鍋放在濕布上降溫,再放回炉上。(全程用小火)
5) 用1汤匙的量匙,分别挖一勺麵糊放入鍋中,蓋上蓋子。約20~30秒鐘左右可見到蛋餅表面出現若干小洞、打開蓋子并可以翻面了。(我家的锅一次可以煎4片)
6) 翻面之後也同樣煎半分鐘左右即可出鍋。
7) 重複步驟 4-6 ,直到麵糊全部用完。(我一共做4次)

~**本人的小貼士**~
1)以上食譜大約可以做16個小小的鬆餅,每次勺同樣的分量,鬆餅的大小就會比較均勻啦~
2)油不要放多,可以滴幾滴油在鍋內之後,用紙巾擦勻。
3)一定要用最小火。火一大就容易煎焦。
4)我家平底鍋是32cm的,可以一次煎四塊。
5)要煎美美的煎餅,讓平底鍋降溫的步驟就一定不可以省略哦。
