Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes
Total time: 35 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients for pancakes:
- 200 g flour
- 300 ml milk
- 2 eggs
- 150 ml sparkling water
- 1 vanilla essence
- A pinch of salt
- Oil for frying

Ingredients for cream:
- 250 ml milk
- 200 g sugar
- 1 egg
- 200 g butter (at room temperature)
- 1 tablespoon cocoa

Ingredients for serving:
- 2 bananas (sliced)
- A little powdered sugar (optional, for decoration)

Step 1: Preparing the pancake batter
In a large bowl, crack the two eggs and add the milk. Use a whisk to mix the eggs and milk well, ensuring they combine evenly. Gradually add the flour, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. It is essential to add the flour little by little to achieve a smooth and fine batter.

Once the flour is fully incorporated, add the sparkling water to thin the batter. This will make the pancakes fluffier and lighter. Also, add the vanilla essence for a delightful aroma. Let the batter rest in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to improve the texture of the pancakes.

Step 2: Preparing the cream
In another bowl, beat the egg with the sugar until it becomes a creamy, light-colored mixture. Add the milk and place the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly. It is important not to let the cream boil but to stir until it begins to thicken. Once it reaches the desired consistency, remove from heat and let it cool.

After the cream has cooled, whip the butter in a separate bowl until fluffy. Incorporate the cooled egg cream into the whipped butter, adding a tablespoon of cocoa for a special flavor. Mix well until everything is homogeneous.

Step 3: Frying the pancakes
In a well-heated non-stick skillet, add a little oil. Use a ladle to pour the batter into the skillet, forming pancakes of the desired size. Fry the pancakes for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden and slightly crispy. Repeat the process until you finish the batter.

Step 4: Assembling the pancakes
After frying all the pancakes, it's time to fill them. Take one pancake, add a generous portion of cocoa cream on one half, then place a few banana slices on top. Fold the pancake in half and, if desired, you can cut it in two to make it easier to serve.

Serving tip:
These pancakes with cream and bananas can be served warm or at room temperature. Sprinkle a little powdered sugar on top for an elegant appearance and an extra touch of sweetness. You can also accompany them with chocolate sauce or a scoop of ice cream for a decadent dessert!
