Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Grease and line base of a 3cm-deep, 24.5 x 37.5cm (base measurement) oven tray with baking paper.

Step 2

Step 5

Can you add fruit to pancake mix?

Yes, you can add fruit to pancake mixes. Berries and banana add a delicious sweetness and some colour to the pancakes.

Why are my banana pancakes rubbery?

If your banana pancakes are rubbery, it may be because you have over-mixed your pancake batter. Over-mixing can cause it to be dense, flat and rubbery. To prevent this from happening, we recommend not using an electric mixer or if you do, ensure you do not over-mix.

What is the secret of amazing pancakes?

The secret to create amazing pancakes is ensure you don’t over-mix, and let your pancake batter rest for a little while before cooking. Leaving it to rest will achieve light and fluffy pancakes.
