Does anyone have a good recipe for Pisang Pancakes?
I became close friends with some Indonesians when I was working there, and they got me hooked on the food. I had pisang pancakes every morning and pisang goreng as a snack in the afternoon when we returned home after working outside all day. I'm just not sure how to properly make them in the west. Thanks
Answers: Banana Pancakes (Malaysia) serves 4
Pisang pancakes - The varieties of bananas grown in Malaysia would surprise a visitor from the U.S. accustomed to the one or two varieties that find their way to our supermarkets. There are many types of both sweet and cooking bananas, each with a distinct flavor, size and texture, ranging in color from yellow to green to red to nearly purple. The bananas are picked just before they are ripe and hung in a shaded area protected from small mammals to ripen. The banana "tree" is not really a true tree at all. The entire "tree" is cut down to remove the one "rope" of bananas it bears, and a new plant will replace it.
2 eggs 1 tablespoon coconut cream (available canned in most supermarkets)
1 tablespoon sugar 4 to 5 ripe sweet bananas, mashed
1 cup self-rising flour margarine or cooking oil
Begin by beating the eggs with the sugar. Then sift the flour and fold it into the eggs, a little at a time. Stir in the coconut cream.
When this is done, scoop in the mashed bananas and mix well.
Melt a little margarine (or use oil) in a frying pan and when it is hot, pour in 2 tablespoons of batter. Tilt the pan so the mix coats the bottom and cook until lightly browned. Turn and cook the other side.
Fold the pancake into a triangle and remove it from the pan. Set it aside to keep warm while you cook the remaining batter. Serve with wedges of lemon and additional bananas.
