Then, add in the sugar and mix it till it’s well amalgamated.

Once done, add the flour and mix gently together. Start pouring in the milk and mix till you get a pancake consistence batter.

Tip: You can add an extra tbsp. of flour if you want to make a banana fritter.

Then, add the melted ghee/clarified butter into the batter and stir till it’s well combined.

Traditionally, the pancake is fried in ghee which adds unwanted calories, but I prefer keeping it slightly healthier by adding the tbsp. ghee into my batter.

Heat a skillet/pan, once heated, ladle in the batter (like mini pancakes) Flip when the edges start to brown. It takes about a minute on each side to cook.

If making a fritter, frying a minute and half on each side should be fine.

When done, place it on a paper towel. Its best enjoyed lukewarm or at room temperature, with a hot cup of tea/coffee._DSC1298
