Banana Pancake

while we were in Thailand we frequently had this awesome dessert called banana pancakes. don't let the name throw you, it's not like a breakfast pancake we have in the states. this is more like a crepe, but even thinner and it's fried. anyway, we had at least one of these each every night.

the people made them out of street vending carts. they would all roll out around 6 or 7 o'clock, just in time to catch people leaving from dinner. some vendors had a few different toppings and some were priced a little different, but they were basically all the same. the base pancake was dough with sliced bananas on the inside. from there you choose what toppings you want; sugar, lemon, nutella, chocolate, peanut butter, honey, maple syrup, cinnamon and then combinations of any of the above.

sometimes the carts were attached to their

moped, so when they were done for
the night they just biked away.

when we got back to the states i looked up how to make these online and sure enough found a recipe. tonight we gave it a shot and the result was not bad. my main problem was getting the dough as thin as they did. when you watch the movie from up top you can see how fast she flips it and how thin it gets. i had particular trouble getting the outer edges thin. it was still good though and pretty easy to make.

my final result (the toppings were cinnamon and honey)
