    Ingredients


    1. 1 medium ripe banana (about 100–120g), mashed
    2. 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
    3. 1 teaspoon baking powder
    4. ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
    5. ¼ teaspoon fine salt
    6. 1 large egg
    7. ¾ cup (180ml) milk of choice
    8. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    9. 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
    10. 1 tablespoon melted butter or neutral oil, plus extra for cooking

    1. Sliced banana
    2. Fresh berries
    3. Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt
    4. Peanut butter or almond butter
    5. Maple syrup
    6. Chopped nuts


    Method


    1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
    2. In a separate bowl, mash the banana until mostly smooth. Whisk in the egg, milk, vanilla extract, maple syrup or honey (if using), and melted butter or oil.
    3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. A few small lumps are fine; avoid overmixing.
    4. Heat a lightly greased non-stick pan or griddle over medium-low heat.
    5. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of batter per pancake into the pan, leaving space between each pancake.
    6. Cook for 2–3 minutes, or until small bubbles appear on the surface and the edges begin to look set.
    7. Flip carefully and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Internal temperature should reach approximately 93–96°C (200–205°F).
    8. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil or butter to the pan as needed.
    9. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

  • 🛰️ What Is a Space Station?

    A space station is a large, habitable structure in orbit that allows astronauts to live and work in zero gravity for extended periods. Unlike cramped space capsules or the space shuttle, space stations provide enough space and life support for long-term missions.

    Supplies such as air, food, and new crew members are delivered by rockets or space shuttles. Most space stations are made of multiple modules, launched separately and assembled in orbit.

    Some stations, like the Russian Mir, stayed in space for many years, with crews living and working aboard for months at a time. Space stations essentially serve as laboratories and homes in space, enabling extended scientific research and exploration.

    🔹 Key Features

    Purpose: Space stations act as laboratories for studying biology, medicine, physics, materials science, and for observing Earth and space.

    Habitation: They provide pressurized living areas with air, water, and power systems to sustain crews for extended missions.

    Construction: Most stations, like the International Space Station (ISS), are modular — built by connecting pieces delivered by rockets and shuttles.

    Orbit & Speed: To remain in orbit, space stations travel at extremely high speeds. The ISS, for example, orbits Earth every 90 minutes.

    Energy: Large solar panels provide electricity by converting sunlight into power.
