Banana pancakes

Whenever I have bananas past their prime on my counter, I make pancakes. This is one of my favourite recipes, from Kitchen Treaty.

Ingredients

  • 480 g (2 cups) buttermilk
  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 2 eggs
  • 45 g (3 tbsp) unsalted butter, melted
  • 10 g (2 tsp) vanilla extract
  • 315g (2 1/2 cups) all-purpose flour
  • 50 g (1/4 cup) sugar
  • 15 g (1 tbsp) baking powder
  • 5 g (1/2 tsp) baking soda
  • 3 g (1/2 tsp) salt

Preparation

  1. Mash the bananas in a bowl. Add the buttermilk, and whisk in the eggs, butter and vanilla extract.
  2. Add the the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just combined.
  3. Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes. It should form bubbles and rise just a bit.
  4. Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. 
  5. Using a 1/4 cup measure or a number 16 scoop, pour the batter onto the pan.
  6. Flip the pancakes when they look a little dry around the edges and start to form little bubbles (about a minute). Cook them on the other side until golden brown and the cooked through.
