Preheat oven to 170°C.

Dry mix: Sieve flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar into a large bowl; make a well.

Wet mix: Whisk buttermilk (or yoghurt), milk, eggs, and vanilla; pass through a fine sieve into a jug.

Combine: Gradually whisk the wet into the dry to a smooth batter.

Cook: Heat a blini or non-stick pan over medium; lightly grease. Add ~¼ of the batter (~4 tbsp / 60ml), then lay 5 banana slices on top. Cook 4–5 min until golden underneath.

Finish in oven: Transfer pan to oven 3–4 min until set. Turn out, dust with icing sugar. Repeat for remaining batter.
