How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh bananas
- To make this dish, you need to choose ripe, delicious yellow bananas. Ripe bananas usually have a naturally yellow skin, slightly wrinkled, sometimes with some brown spots and small dark spots. These bananas will be very sweet when eaten.
- Choose bananas of moderate size, not too big or too small. The stem, body, and tip of the fruit should all ripen evenly. The banana skin clings tightly to the fruit and gives off a rich aroma. Those are naturally ripe bananas.
- Avoid choosing artificially ripened bananas that have been chemically treated with smooth, beautiful yellow skin. The fruit may be ripe but the stem and tip are still green. Also, avoid selecting overly ripe bananas that are bruised and mushy, as they will not taste good.
How to choose fresh chicken eggs
- Fresh and delicious chicken eggs usually have a thick shell, a moderate size, and you should avoid large eggs with thin shells.
- If you see eggs with a smooth, shiny shell, they have been stored for quite a while, so it’s best not to buy them.
- On the contrary, eggs with a fine powder coating on the outside and a hard shell are fresh eggs.
- Old eggs will make a noise when shaken lightly, while fresh eggs will not make any sound.

Mixing the dough
Add 500g of all-purpose flour into a bowl along with 75ml of fresh milk, 50g of condensed milk, 100g of unsalted butter, then crack 1 chicken egg into the bowl.

Kneading and Shaping the Dough
The mixed dough has come together, you use your hands to knead using the Folding and Stretching technique.
First, fold the dough over, then use the palm of your hand to press and stretch the dough away. Note that you should press and stretch the dough away, not press down. Next, rotate the dough block 90 degrees and repeat the two steps above until the dough forms a uniform, smooth, elastic mass that does not stick to your hands.
Then, add 1 teaspoon of olive oil to the pan, using a brush to evenly spread the oil over the surface of the pan, then place the dough block in.
Knead and divide the dough into equal portions, then roll them into balls, cover with plastic wrap to let the dough rest for 2 hours.
Tip: When shaping the dough, remember to evenly apply butter to your hands and coat the dough to keep it moist. -
Prepare bananas and eggs
Crack 3 eggs into a bowl and whisk until well combined.
Peel the bananas, use a knife to slice them into rounds, then add the bananas to the bowl of eggs and mix well.

Fry the pancakes

Then, place a pan on the stove, turn on medium heat, and add 1 teaspoon of cooking oil into the pan, gently tilt the pan to coat it evenly with oil, then add the dough.
Next, place a spoonful of the banana and egg mixture in the center of the dough, gently use a spatula to fold the edges around to form a square.
