Servings: persons

50 g melted butter
100 g plain flour
1 egg
1 egg yolk
300 ml milk
1 pinch salt
2 large oranges
1 teaspoon sugar
25 g butter
2 2 tablespoons brandy or 2 tablespoons whiskey
4 small slightly under-ripe bananas
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
150 g thick and creamy vanilla yogurt

1
Make the batter by placing the melted butter, flour, eggs, salt and milk in a blender and whizzing until smooth.
2
Alternatively, whisk the eggs and butter in a mixing bowl, then gradually add the flour with the salt and finally add the milk.
3
Whisk until smooth.
4
Cover the batter and chill for half an hour.
5
Whisk again just before you make the pancakes.
6
Meanwhile, make the sauce by zesting one of the oranges.
7
Place the zest in a saucepan and juice both oranges into the pot.
8
Add the sugar, 25g butter and the alcohol.
9
Heat gently for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the butter melts and the sauce starts to thicken.
10
Peel the bananas and cut on a slant into a few pieces.
11
Drop into the sauce and cook for a couple minutes.
12
Make the pancakes by heating a touch of oil in a non-stick frying pan.
13
When the pan is very hot, pour in a bit of batter.
14
If you are a pancake novice, start with 1/4 cup batter per pancake since a small pancake is easier to flip.
15
Leave the batter to set, then flip with a spatula and cook for another 30 seconds.
16
Remove from the pan onto a plate and keep covered.
17
When the pancakes are cooked, put one on a serving plate.
18
Cover one half of the pancake with a bit of sauce and a dollop of yoghurt.
19
Serve immediately.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
