👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    In a bowl, mix the flour, sugar and baking powder with the salt.
    Bowl
  2. 2
    In a separate bowl, mash the bananas with a fork into a smooth puree.
    Bowl
  3. 3
    Add the milk, eggs, melted butter and vanilla to the banana puree and mix.
  4. 4
    Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix just until combined: small lumps are fine.
    💡Overmixing develops gluten, and the pancakes come out tough and flat. Mix only until no dry flour remains.
  5. 5
    Let the batter rest 5 minutes.
  6. 6
    Heat a pan over medium heat and brush it with a little of the fat.

    💡A very thin layer of fat, with the excess wiped off with paper towel: too much fat gives spots and fried edges.
  7. 7
    Pour about 3 tbsp of batter for each pancake. When bubbles appear on the surface after about 2–3 minutes, flip and cook 1–2 more minutes.
    Stove
    💡Bubbles that pop and don't close up are the sign to flip: the bottom is golden and the batter has set.
