You know, in the US they don't use Bechemal sauce. They just use mozzarella on top. Glad it worked out yummy!

This sponge mixture produces a nice moist fluffy sponge and it is quite sweet no need for the vanilla extract.

The raisin version comes out nice i baked it last week we had it with custard very scrummy.

yeah always nice with some herbs added mmm!

Another thing I do with mine is, I make them when my bananas are black and inedible. This increases the banana flavor in the bread/cake.

they look awesome. I do mine similar. I parboil them in heavily salted water. Preheat the oven to 400F and put a roasting pan in there with enough veg oil to cover just the bottom. Drain potatoes in a colander and shake them up in there to rough the edges. Then put them straight in the hot oil, turning to coat, and sprinkling with salt, pepper, garlic powder and crushed dried rosemary. I try to space them apart nicely without overcrowding the pan and then cook until done, which is usually 45 minutes depending on how big I made them (stephen likes small crispy ones, I like the big ones with more potato inside so I end up doing a mixture of both). Another thing that adds to their crispiness is to only turn once during cooking time. I have never tried the flour thing.

raisin cake, now that sounds nice! i wonder if it would be as moist without the bananas though? Your bread looks delish. I make my banana bread without a whisk too, I use a fork and throw the bananas in the bowl with the eggs etc and mash with the fork - saves having to clean the other bowl that you mashed them in. Vanilla is a nice addition too. Just a tsp or so. I will give this one a try one day and let you know how it goes.

I used sunflower oil and i did the them the way i usually do my pancakes and they are usually perfect, but i just messed this lot up i will try again another time thanks for the tip about freezing. xxx

I did do a apple crumble post with all pics along the way but forgot to take a pic of the finished crumble as kyle distracted me! so waiting to do another to add to the post then i will post it.

2009-11-17T06:12:55.362-08:00

Oh and also, you have to heat up crisco in the pan or some other vegetable shortening before frying the pancakes. What did you use? I find butter will burn them to a crisp.

Good idea turning into muffins, saves the waste! It was unlikely either the recipe or the skillet, I used to do my pancakes in a skillet all the time. It was probably more to do with the timing of your flip and the temperature. I set my griddle to about 350F when I make pancakes or else they burn. The equivalent to that when frying in a skillet is about medium heat. Did you have yours up too high? Also, you have to wait till the bubbles not just appear on the surface of the pancake but begin to burst before flipping. Just running some possibilities out there. They sound nice and healthy, did Kyle like them? You could freeze any that don't get eaten cause muffins freeze well in ziplock bags for a couple months.

Good to see another post in your new blog. I'm checking it like three times a day! lol Hope the job is going well. xxx
