Jamie Oliver says, "Forget messing around with the kitchen scales, my one-mug method is a brilliant trick for getting perfect pancakes every time. Simply use the same mug to measure out the flour and milk, before mixing with your egg – it couldn't be easier!" See method

Method

JO 155x255
  1. Whizz the dried fruit and nuts in a food processor to a chunky crumb.
  2. Crack the egg into a large mixing bowl, add the flour, milk and cinnamon, and whisk together until you have a smooth batter.
  3. Peel and halve the bananas lengthways. Place a large frying pan on a medium heat with 1 tsp oil. Add 2 banana halves to the pan, cut-side down, and fry for 3 mins, or until lightly caramelised.
  4. Pour a ladleful of batter over each banana, cook for 2 mins, or until tiny bubbles appear on the surface and the base is golden, then confidently flip them over and cook for 1 min more. Repeat as required with the remaining bananas and batter – I like to work in batches so the pancakes are always hot.
  5. Serve straight away, topped with a dollop of yogurt, the fruit and nut crumb, and a drizzle of honey, if you like.

Jamie's healthier swap: "Wholemeal flour is higher in fibre, while bananas are a source of potassium."
