The children at Hills Montessori enjoyed participating in a new tasting experience this week as we showed them how to use the Banana blossom to make Banana blossom pancakes.
This week in the outdoor classroom, children got the opportunity to prepare and taste some banana blossom pancakes. These were a new taste to many children and I am proud of them for being open to tasting new flavours. It was great fun prepping the blossoms, and we learned many things like how we learn from our mistakes when recipes go wrong, how it can sometimes be exciting but also feel unsure about trying something new and thankful we are able to enjoy such exciting foods at Montessori. Thank you to Helani, Anara’s mum for sharing the banana blossoms with us from her home garden.
Ingredients: Banana blossoms, Turmeric, Salt, Pepper, Vegetable oil. Pancake mixture: Flour, Baking powder, Eggs, Salt, Coconut milk, Water.
