Brinhola – Banana pancakes

🍴Meal: breakfast / lunch

Brinhola

Ingredients brinhola (2-3 persons)

  • 2 large or 5 small ripe bananas
  • 200 grams of wheat flour
  • 500 milliliters of water
  • 125 grams of cane sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons of baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 tablespoon of cooking oil
  • Boiling oil
  • Cinnamon powder and white sugar

Preparation of brinhola

  • Peel and mash the ripe bananas. In addition, sift the wheat flour and baking powder into a mixing bowl.
  • Then add the bananas. Also add 125 grams of cane sugar, the 2 eggs, half a liter of water, 1 tablespoon of cooking oil and some salt in the mixing bowl. Now make it into a smooth batter. It is convenient to use a hand mixer.
  • Heat a frying pan with cooking oil over high heat and scoop a tablespoon of batter 3 times in the pan. Separately, so you make 3 pancakes at the same time. Bake the banana pancakes on both sides until golden brown. Make the rest of the pancakes in the same way.
  • When the pancakes are served, sprinkle some cinnamon sugar on top (mixture of white sugar and cinnamon powder).
