Banana Pancakes

American

Use bananas soft enough to crush with a fork so the sweetness spreads through the batter. Make the first pancake small to judge whether the middle has set before you cook the rest.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 2 very ripe bananas
  • 1 tbsp, as needed butter or neutral oil

Instructions

  1. Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
  2. Whisk the milk and egg together. Mash the bananas and stir them into the milk mixture, then fold the wet mixture into the flour until just combined.
  3. Heat a lightly greased skillet over medium heat. Drop small spoonfuls of batter into the pan. Flip when the edges set and bubbles appear, then cook until both sides are golden and the centers are set. Repeat with the remaining batter.
