In a lightly oiled non-stick pan make the pancakes by adding a small ladle of the mixture into the pan, tilt until mixture fully covers bottom of pan. Lift the edge of pancake to check if browned and when ready give it a quick flip. Cook for a further 30 seconds to a minute then turn out and repeat until all of the batter has been used.

  • To make the chocolate sauce bring the sugar and water to the boil in a pan, add the chocolate and cocoa powder and stir until fully incorporated. Reduce over a med to high heat until thickened slightly, remove from the heat and set aside to cool slightly.

  • Slice the bananas then cook in a non-stick pan along with the butter and raisins, after 2-3 minutes add the rum and flambé, remove from the heat and set to one side

  • Fill the pancakes with the bananas, drizzle over some of the chocolate sauce then roll, dust with icing sugar then serve with a scoop of your favourite ice cream
