Gula Melaka Banana Pancakes by Miss Crumbs A Lot Recipe Pancake Ingredients 1 cup All Purpose Flour (sifted) 2 tbsp Sugar 1 cup Milk 2 tbsp Salted Butter (melted) 1 Egg 1 tbsp Vegetable Oil 1 large Banana (sliced) Syrup Ingredients 1 pkt Gula Melaka / Coconut Palm Sugar (approx 8.8 oz) 3 Pandan Leaves (screwpine leaves) (knotted) 1/2 cup Water Cooking Method 1. Make the syrup first by grating the Gula Melaka with a grater. Combine the grated Gula Melaka with water in a small pot. Mix till the sugar has dissolved. 2. Add the knotted pandan leaves and bring it to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and allow it to thicken slightly for a few minutes. Remove from heat and set aside. 3. Set your oven to the warming function or preheat it to 140 degrees F, to keep cooked pancakes warm before you serve them. 4. In a bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter and egg until well mixed. Add in the sifted flour and sugar and mix well. 5. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with the vegetable oil using an oil brush or paper towel. 6. Spoon 2 to 3 tbsp of the batter onto the pan for each pancake. Cook until the surface of the pancake begins to bubble, about 1 to 2 minutes. Carefully flip the pancakes and cook until browned on the other side. 7. Place the cooked pancakes onto a baking tray and keep warm in the oven until ready to serve. 8. Top pancakes with sliced bananas and Gula Melaka syrup before serving. Serves 4
