Banana Pancakes

• 1 medium ripe banana
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tbsp (25g) sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 3 tbsp (45g) melted and cooled unsalted butter
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• 1 cup plus 2 tbsp (270 ml) milk
• 1 1/2 cups (190g) flour
• 1 tbsp baking powder

Instructions

1. 1

   Mash the banana in a large bowl. Whisk in the milk, sugar, kosher salt, cooled melted butter, and vanilla. Add the eggs and whisk gently.

2. 2

   Combine the flour and baking powder. Sift it into the pancake batter. Whisk or, ideally, fold everything together until you have a homogenous mixture—some lumps are okay. Be sure not to overmix.

3. 3

   Using a 1/4 cup (60ml) measure for each pancake, fry over medium heat in butter until cooked through and golden on both sides. Serve with butter, banana slices, and maple syrup.
