Fonio Griddle Cakes with Banana

Directions

1. Take 750g of the fonio, place in a food processor and work in enough water to yield a smooth slurry.

2. Grind the remaining fonio into flour and work this into the porridge along with the sugar, mashed bananas and yeast.

3. Add enough water to yield a thick batter.

4. Cover and set aside in a warm place to rise for about 90 minutes, or until double in volume.

5. After this time, stir down the batter then heat a little groundnut oil in a non-stick griddle pan.

6. Drop about 2 tbsp of the batter per cake onto a griddle pan.

7. Cook for a couple of minutes, or until nicely browned and beginning to bubble on top.

8. Flip over and cook on the other side. Serve these griddle cakes warm.
