Prep time
15 mins
Ingredients
- Egg: 2 small eggs, separated
- Oil: oil, for frying
- Self Raising Flour: 50g self-raising flour
- Skimmed Milk: 150ml skimmed milk
- Banana: 30g banana, sliced into rounds for the tails
- Wholemeal Flour: 50g wholemeal flour
- Raisins: a few raisins for bunny paws, to serve (optional)
- Fruit: extra chopped fruit, to serve
Directions
- Put both the flours into a largebowlandwhiskto break up any lumps. Add the egg yolks and a little of the milk, whisking to a thick paste. Add the remaining milk, a splash at a time, to loosen the batter.(Use whole or semi-skimmed milk if cooking for under fives, dependent on age.)
- In a separate bowl and using a clean whisk, whisk the egg whites until they hold stiff peaks. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter with a spatula, trying to keep in as much air as possible.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over a medium heat and carefully wipe it with some oiled kitchen paper. Using a large spoon, add a generous dollop of batter to the pan in a round, for the bunny body. Add a smaller round for the head, two small ovals for feet, and two long thin strips for ears. Fit all the bunny components into the pan, or cook them in batches.
- Flip the pancakes after a minute or two, once the edges are set, the base is golden brown and bubbles start to pop on the surface. Cook for another min until golden brown.
- Put the bunny body in the middle of the plate, position the head, ears and feet just overlapping to look like the back of a bunny. Add a banana slice for the tail, and raisins (if using) for the feet pads.
- Repeat with the remaining batter. Decorate with extra chopped fruit, if you like.
