Apart from eating the ripe bananas, or making crisps from them, the commonest delicacy from apple bananas are pancakes.
A one Charlotte in Nakawa, Kampala who is in this trade, says the best banana pancakes are made using only three items; ripe sweet bananas, cassava flour and cooking oil.
“There are people who add sodium bicarbonate to give pancakes a longer shelf life, but this is not right because it affects their taste,” she says.
A single 100g pancake costs sh500.
Method

- 1kg of cassava flour l 3 clusters of ripe bananas. You can buy these at about sh6,000
