BANANA PANCAKES
See also article: Going Bananas
Ingredients • 4 oz. flour • 1/3 teaspoon of salt • 1 ½ oz. sugar • ½ teaspoon baking soda • 1 teaspoon baking powder • 2 large fully ripe bananas, mashed • 6 oz. milk • 1 egg • ½ oz. melted butter
Directions Combine the dry ingredients and sift them. Use a flour sifter or if you don't have one, pour the dry ingredients into a handheld fine sieve and tap them through it into a bowl.
In a separate bowl add the mashed bananas and all of the remaining wet ingredients. Whisk the wet ingredients thoroughly to ensure uniform incorporation of the bananas.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix. They do not have to be perfectly mixed; some lumps are OK and will cook out.
Heat a large skillet or electric griddle, (for the latter I set it to 350 degrees), and grease with butter or cooking spray.
Dollop spoonfuls of the batter onto the griddle.
Flip when bubbles start to appear and/or the edges begin to set.
The second side will only require brief cooking.
Top with lots of butter, your favorite syrup, and enjoy.
