Banana Pancakes

Ingredients (serves 4)
1 1/4 cups (160g) plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp caster sugar
375ml can of light and creamy evaporated milk
1 egg
20g unsalted butter, melted
3 small ripe bananas, roughly chopped
Lime butter syrup
150g palm sugar, finely grated
60g butter
2 limes, juiced, zest cut into thin strips

Method
Sift flour and baking powder into a medium bowl. Stir in sugar. Whisk milk, egg, and melted butter together. Stir into flour until smooth. Fold through banana.
Heat a small non-stick frying pan over low-medium heat. Add 1/4 cup of batter, cover with a lid and cook for 30 seconds or until golden brown. Flip pancake over and cook for another minute. Transfer to a plate and cover up to keep them warm. Repeat with remaining batter.
To prepare syrup, place palm sugar and butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir for 2 minutes until thick and bubbling. Whisk in lime juice and zest - be careful as this will spatter - boil for 20 seconds and remove from heat.
Serve pancakes with ice cream and drizzled with syrup.
