2 cups (290g) plain flour

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp bicarbonate of soda

3 tbsp caster sugar

pinch of salt

2 large eggs

2 cups (500ml) buttermilk

50g butter, melted

4 sugar bananas, sliced, to serve

Maple Butter

250g butter, softened

1 To make the maple butter, place the butter and maple syrup into a bowl and mix to combine. Transfer to a sheet of plastic wrap and shape into a log, roll up and seal the ends to secure. Place into the freezer until needed.

2 Sift the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, sugar and salt into a large bowl. Add the eggs, buttermilk and butter, and whisk until just combined.

3 Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and grease with a little butter. Pour ¼ cup of pancake batter into the pan and cook until bubbles appear on the surface, turn and continue cooking until golden. Repeat until you have 12 pancakes.

4 Serve the pancakes with banana and a few slices of maple butter.
