- 1 egg
- 60 g milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 15 g sugar
- 45 g butter (divided: 30 g for batter, 15 g for frying)

👩🍳 Method
1. Combine dry ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together Banana Island green banana flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
2. Add wet ingredients
Create a well in the center and add egg, milk, and 30 g melted butter. Beat until just combined.
3. Rest the batter
Let it sit for 10 minutes—this helps the flour hydrate and improves texture.
