This is another use for ripe bananas, they change the basic pikelet mix into something that doesn’t need the jam and cream topping. They would be good for afternoon teas, suppers or even the kids lunchboxes.

We always had bananas in the fruit bowl and I suspect Mum made banana fritters when there were a few too many ripe ones left. I think her original recipe was simply the bananas chopped into a sweet batter mix, but these ones have a few other added ingredients which would add to the flavour.
