1 large or 1-2 small bananas per person
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons calvados, grand marnier or cointreau
5 fl oz orange juice
2 tablespoons molasses sugar
1 egg
4 oz flour
10 fl oz lager beer
Make pancakes with lager, flour and egg, and cook in the normal way (I used a cooking spray to grease a non-stick frying pan). Fold each pancake in half, and then in half again, so it forms a quarter-circle (if you're as bad at cooking pancakes as I am, they'll come out in bits anyway - if so, pretend it didn't happen!), and place them in a large flan dish.
Peel bananas, cut in half long-ways and in half again
cross-ways, and place face-down on top of the pancakes. Put the
remaining ingredients into a frying pan or small saucepan, and
boil for 3-4 minutes, until just beginning to be syrupy. Pour
over bananas and pancakes, and bake in a moderate oven (Mark 4 -
350 F) for 20-30 minutes.
I served this with fromage frais and a chocolate sauce.
