• 250 g Ripe bananas (Peeled and sliced before being mashed)

5. Incorporate liquids into dry

   Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, pour in the banana‑yolk mixture, then add the room‑temperature milk. Whisk until you obtain a homogeneous batter, without lumps.

   Time: PT3M

6. Whip egg whites to stiff peaks

   Using an electric mixer, whisk the egg whites until you get firm, glossy peaks.
