Why Make Lempeng Pisang?
Lempeng Pisang is not only delicious but also a versatile dish. It can be enjoyed as a snack, breakfast, or even dessert. Plus, making it is a great way to use overripe bananas, reducing food waste.
Ingredients
To prepare Langkat-style Lempeng Pisang, you will need:
3 ripe bananas (preferably Cavendish or local variants)
150 grams of all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons of sugar (optional, based on sweetness preference)
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of baking powder
100 ml of coconut milk
Cooking oil for frying
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Bananas
Peel the bananas and mash them in a mixing bowl using a fork until smooth but slightly chunky.
Step 2: Combine the Ingredients
Add the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder to the mashed bananas. Gradually pour in the coconut milk, stirring until you achieve a thick but pourable batter.
Step 3: Heat the Pan
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add a small amount of cooking oil. Ensure the pan is evenly coated.
Step 4: Fry the Lempeng Pisang
Spoon a ladleful of batter onto the pan, spreading it thinly to form a round pancake. Fry until the edges turn golden and crispy, then flip to cook the other side. Repeat until all batter is used.
Tips and Tricks for Success
Use overripe bananas: They provide natural sweetness and are easier to mash.
Non-stick pan: Prevents the pancakes from sticking and ensures even cooking.
Adjust sweetness: You can skip sugar if your bananas are very ripe or add extra for a dessert version.
Experiment: Add grated coconut or a sprinkle of cinnamon for a unique twist.
Pairing Suggestions
Serve Lempeng Pisang with a drizzle of honey, palm sugar syrup, or a side of savory sambal for an unconventional yet delightful combination.
