Ingredients

170 g self-raising flour ( 1 ¼ cup)
170 ml milk (⅔ cup)
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 bananas
250 g strawberries (2 cups)
100 g melted milk chocolate ( 3 oz)

Instructions

To make the pancakes, start by separating the egg whites from the egg yolks.
Add the milk to the egg yolks, and use a whisk to mix them together.
Sift in the flour, add the baking powder, and use a spatula to mix well until you get a thick batter.
In a separate mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the egg whites until they hold soft peaks.
Add the beaten egg whites to the batter, and use a spatula to gently incorporate the whites.
Heat up a non-stick griddle pan or a frying pan on a medium heat, spray with non-stick cooking spray and add a tablespoon of batter for each mini pancake.
Leave them to cook until bubbles start forming up at the top of the pancakes, then flip them onto the other side.
Cook the pancakes for a further one minute, then remove them from the pan, and repeat with the rest of the batter.
Thread 2 mini pancakes onto wooden skewers, add a slice of banana and strawberry, and continue to alternate them until the skewers are full.
Drizzle melted chocolate over the skewers.
Serve immediately.

Notes

Keep the pancakes on the smaller size, not only they are prettier, but they also fit better with the slices of bananas and strawberries - one tablespoon of batter should be more than enough for a mini pancake.
The pancake batter has to be light and sloppy, but thicker than a classic crepe batter, if they the batter is too runny, the pancakes won't get the lift they need and will be flat, rather than floppy.
The amount of flour used depends on how large the eggs are - I used 3 large eggs, so I added extra flour, but if the eggs are smaller, one cup should be fine.
