I love spoiling my family on a Sunday morning with a delicious breakfast . And these my friends are on another level. I have also included at the bottom how to make your own Buttermilk

Ingredients
1 cup (250mls ) buttermilk ( see below)
1 egg
1/2 cup ripe banana mashed ( 1 large banana)
1/4 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
40g butter
3/4 cup thickened cream
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Caramel Sauce
1/2 cup caster sugar
2 tablespoons water
1/2 cup thickened cream
Method
1. Make Caramel sauce. Stir sugar and water in a small saucepan, over heat,without boiling until sugar is dissolved. Then bring to the boil; boil uncovered, without stirring for about 5 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from heat carefully stir in cream then let stand to cool.
2. Whisk buttermilk, egg and banana in a medium jug until combined. Sift flour bicarbonate of soda into a medium bowl, stir in sugar then gradually Whisk in buttermilk mixture until smooth.
3. Heat 1/4 of the butter in a large non stick frypan. Pour 2 tablespoons of batter for each piece into pan. Cook Pikelets until bubbles appear on surface; turn, brown on other side ( about 1 minute) Remove from pan and repeat with remaining butter and mixture.
4. Beat cream and cinnamon in a small bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form
5. Serve Pikelets with cream and a drizzle of Caramel sauce
If you don't have buttermilk then just turn your normal milk into buttermilk by choosing one of the options below. I use the vinegar or lemon options all the time.

If you don't have buttermilk then just turn your normal milk into buttermilk by choosing one of the options below. I use the vinegar or lemon options all the time.
Buttermilk Substitute:
Any of these options will work great in a recipe, just pick the best one for you based on what you have in your pantry and fridge.- 1 cup buttermilk = 1 Tablespoon white vinegar + enough milk to measure 1 cup
- 1 cup buttermilk = 1 Tablespoon lemon juice + enough milk to measure 1 cup
- 1 cup buttermilk = 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1 cup buttermilk = 1 and ¾ teaspoon cream of tartar + 1 cup of milk
How to make Buttermilk:
For the vinegar option, simply pour 1 Tablespoon vinegar into a measuring cup for 1 cup, then fill the rest of the cup with milk. Carefully stir the mixture then let it sit for 5 minutes. All other options you can use straight away
