Stir the mixture together, then gradually whisk in the crème fraîche to make a thickish batter. Finally, stir in the chocolate chips.

Heat a knob of butter and 1 tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan and, when sizzling, fry tablespoonfuls of the batter over a medium heat. Fry a few pancakes at a time for 2-3 minutes on each side. Keep them warm in a low oven while you fry the rest. If the butter and oil get a little dark, wipe out the pan and add more before continuing to fry.

Serve the pancakes hot, layered with sliced banana, topped with crème fraîche and dusted with a little cocoa powder and/or icing sugar.
Kitchen secret: children love helping to make (and eat!) these pancakes. They’re quick to mix and delicious hot from the pan if you can’t wait for everyone to eat together.
