1 cup	Flour
1	Egg, large
1 tsp	Baking powder
2 tsp	Vanilla sugar
1 cup	Milk, (approx)
4	Bananas, (at least one per person)

Place all dry ingredients in a large bowl, crack in egg and then add some milk and stir to just combine ingredients.
Then add more milk and beat with a wooden spoon or whisk until batter is smooth and lump free. Rest in a cooler for one hour.
Then fold in the chopped bananas carefully. Preheat a well-cleaned grill plate.
Spoon out mixture on to oiled and buttered grill plate. (Melt equal amounts butter and oil, preferably olive oil but canola is good too).
Cook until golden each side (about 3-4min) and sprinkle with castor sugar while hot.
Rush inside and plate up with the best vanilla ice cream you can buy and drizzle over maple syrup.

Tip:Vanilla sugar - add your old scraped-out vanilla pods to a cup of sugar with one vanilla bean, then blitz in the processor until really fine and dispersed. Topping with a quality yoghurt is a good substitute for the weight or cholesterol conscious. And, finally, if it's raining take an umbrella or, as an absolutely last resort, use a frying pan on the stovetop.
