Coconut Banana Piklets

Ingredients (serves 4)

• 1 cup self-raising flour
• 2 tablespoons caster sugar
• 3/4 cup coconut-flavoured evaporated milk (see note)
• 1 egg
• olive oil cooking spray
• 1 large banana, cut into 12 slices low-fat vanilla ice-cream, to serve

Method

1. Sift flour and sugar into a large bowl. Make a well in the centre. Whisk the milk and egg in a jug. Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture. Whisk until smooth.
2. Spray a large, non-stick frying pan with oil. Heat over medium heat. Drop 4 heaped tablespoons of batter into the pan. Top each with 1 slice of banana. Cook for 1 minute or until bubbles appear on the surface. Turn and cook for a further 1 minute or until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate. Cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter and banana to make 12 pikelets.
3. Place pikelets, banana-side up, on plates. Serve with ice-cream.

Notes

• 
  If coconut-flavoured evaporated milk is unavailable, combine 3/4 cup light evaporated milk with 1/2 teaspoon coconut essence.
