Prep Time: Few mins
What you need
- 200g/7oz Odlums Spelt Plain Flour
- 2 teaspoons Shamrock Demerara Sugar
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- 2 teaspoons Odlums Baking Powder
- 1½ teaspoons Odlums Bread Soda
- 2 Eggs, beaten
- 360ml/½pt Buttermilk
- Butter, for frying
For Caramelised Banana
- 100g/3½oz Shamrock Golden Caster Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice
- 2 large Bananas, peeled, cut into 1cm thick slices
- 4 tablespoons Shamrock Pecans, toasted
To Serve
- Buckwud Maple Syrup

Recipe Steps
- In a large bowl, combine the spelt flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and bread soda.
- In a measuring jug, beat together the eggs and buttermilk. Add to the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined; the mixture will be lumpy.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over a medium heat for 4-5 minutes, then add a little butter and swirl to coat the pan as it melts.
- Ladle small portions of the batter into the hot pan, about 2-3 tablespoons per pancake. Cook 2-3 pancakes at a time until bubbling on top, then flip them over and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown on both sides.
- Place the cooked pancakes on an ovenproof plate and keep warm in a low oven while you make the caramelised bananas.
- In a pan, combine the sugar, water and lemon juice. Stir over a low heat until the sugar dissolves. Turn the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Allow to boil without stirring until the syrup turns a deep amber colour, occasionally swirling the pan. This will take 6-7 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat. Add the banana slices and pecans and stir gently to coat with caramel. Allow to cool for 2-3 minutes before serving with the pancakes. Drizzle with maple syrup.
