# How to Make It:
01 -
Grab a big bowl and mix the flour, baking powder, and salt together with a whisk until it’s all blended well.
02 -
In another bowl, mash the banana and stir in melted butter, the egg, buttermilk, brown sugar, and vanilla. Whisk it until it’s nice and smooth.
03 -
Add the wet mix into the dry mix. Use a spatula to fold it together gently, stopping as soon as you don’t see dry bits anymore. Don’t overdo it!
04 -
Get a non-stick griddle or skillet hot over medium-low heat. Lightly spread some butter on the surface for a non-stick finish.
05 -
Scoop about 80 ml (roughly 1/3 cup) of batter for each pancake onto the griddle. Gently spread it into circles. Cook for about 2–3 minutes until you see bubbles forming on the top.
06 -
Carefully turn each pancake over and let the other side cook for another 2–3 minutes until it’s golden and done. Adjust the heat if necessary to avoid burning.
07 -
Place the pancakes on plates and dig in right away with butter, maple syrup, sliced banana, walnuts, or chocolate chips, whatever you like!
# Extra Information:
01 -
To make them fluffier, don't worry about a few lumps in the batter; just don’t overmix.
02 -
When measuring flour, aerate it first, then scoop and level it off with a knife.
03 -
If you don’t have buttermilk, mix 180 ml of milk with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar, and let it sit for 5 minutes.
