My brothers and I used to eat this when we were younger. They're a lot like doughnuts but with the added fun of topping them with your favorite toppings. After a while of not having these, I started making them on my own for my family, and I enjoy them as much today as I did back then!

Categories     Breakfast

Time 15m

Yield 12 pancakes, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup sugar
1 pinch salt
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
water
oil (for deep frying)

Steps:

  • Sift the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Add the egg and milk, then mix everything up with enough water to form a thick batter with the consistency of wet dough.
  • Heat up your oil over medium heat, then as soon as it starts to get shimmery, turn the heat down low. Oil temp should be about 340°F Oil should be deep enough to submerge the pancake ball.
  • Fry tablespoonfuls in the oil for 3-5 minutes until they're dark golden brown. If your oil is too high, the panikeke will be uncooked on the inside. If your oil is too low you'll have greasy panikeke. So every couple of batches, break one open to make sure it's cooked through.
  • Drain on paper towels.

AUNTIE LUCI'S PANIKEKE LAPOTOPOTO (SAMOAN/TONGAN ROUND PANCAKES) RECIPE - (3.9/5)



Auntie Luci's Panikeke Lapotopoto (Samoan/Tongan Round Pancakes) Recipe - (3.9/5) image

Provided by á-39535

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup sugar
Pinch of salt
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
Water
Oil for frying

Steps:

  • Heat up your oil over medium heat, then as soon as it starts to get shimmery, turn the heat down low. If you have anything as fancy as a thermometer in your kitchen, heat the oil to somewhere between 320°F and 356°F (160°C to 180°C). Sift the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Add the egg and milk, then mix everything up with enough water to form a thick batter like a wet dough. Fry tablespoonfuls in the oil for 3-5 minutes until they're dark golden brown. If your oil is too high, the panikeke will be uncooked on the inside. If your oil is too low you'll have greasy panikeke. So every couple of batches, break one open to make sure it's cooked through.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful the panikeke will be.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the panikeke tough.
  • Cook the panikeke over medium heat: Cooking the panikeke over high heat will make them burn.
  • Flip the panikeke only once: Flipping the panikeke too often will make them break.
  • Serve the panikeke with your favorite toppings: Panikeke can be served with a variety of toppings, such as butter, syrup, honey, or fruit.

Conclusion:

Samoan banana panikeke is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack. With its simple ingredients and quick cooking time, this recipe is sure to become a favorite.
