Spoon Can Do Pancakes Too!

Picture heavy post today! These were immense!
It always pleases me when I make something genuinely tasty, especially if it is the first meal of the day!
Last night I had a craving for something other than porridge for my breakfast, but I still wanted something to keep me toasty warm when it's snowing outside. So the decision was made to make pancakes. I'm on my own, so I wasn't too sure about such an indulgence, however, the thought process - all in all - took me about 3 seconds. It was done! Pancakes for breakfast - whoopee!

Makes Enough Pancakes for 2 people, 3 if you have a banana with them!
Ingredients
100g Self Raising, Organic, Unbleached Flour
Pinch of salt
250ml Almond Milk (You can use soya, oat...)
1.5- 2 tbsp (Groundnut as flavourless) oil
1 banana
1.5 - 2 tbsp Unbleached sugar.

Method
Simples!
Put the Flour into a bowl, sift if you like (Pffff, that just means more washing up and a sieve to clean - no thanks!)

In a separate bowl, mash the banana and then blend in the milk, oil & sugar until combined.

Add the wet to the dry mix.

Heat some coconut oil or other cooking medium into a shallow pan and when almost smoking, pour in the pancake mix, tilting the pan so that you create something not far off a circle.
Wait until it's bubbling and brown on the pan-touching side, then turn*.

* Note - These pancakes are less elastic than egg-containing ones & therefore more fragile. Take care when turning.

Also - I don't think you'll ever get these like a French Crepe, but no bother, they are amazing anyway!

Serve with whatever you like. I did A bit of Agave Nectar, cinnamon and some soya vanilla yoghurt. Immense!

Here is a little Gallery of how things went:
