Banana, rum and raisin pancakes
Have you ever tried eating your pancakes with rum and raisin for a tipsy Shrove Tuesday?
Ingredients:80g plain flour1 large egg beaten160ml whole milkSmall pinch of salt3 ripe bananas20g unsalted butter30ml rum50g plump raisins
Chocolate sauce:100ml water100g caster sugar30g cocoa powder30g chocolate (70% cocoa)

Method:1. Sift flour into a large bowl then add the egg, milk and salt. Whisk and rest for 30 mins. 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
