Ingredients
Ingredients
All-purpose flour
1 3/4 cups (Sifted)
Baking powder
2 teaspoons (Unactivated)
Salt
1/4 teaspoon (Fine sea salt)
Sugar
1 tablespoon (Granulated)
Large eggs
2 (Beaten)
Whole milk
1 1/4 cups (Room temperature)
Unsalted butter
4 tablespoons (Melted and slightly cooled)
Ripe bananas
2 (Sliced)
Instructions
1
In a medium-size mixing bowl, whisk together the sifted flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
2
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs, whole milk, and melted butter until thoroughly mixed.
3
Carefully fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. It’s okay if there are a few lumps – this will help keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
4
Gently fold in the sliced bananas, being careful not to over-mix the batter.
5
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat, allowing it to become hot but not smoking.
6
Lightly grease the skillet with a paper towel moistened with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
7
For each pancake, pour approximately 1/2 cup of batter onto the hot skillet and use the back of a spoon to gently spread it into a circle.
8
Watch for bubbles to form on the surface of the pancake. When the edges look set and the bubbles are popping, it’s time to flip the pancake carefully with a spatula.
9
Cook the pancake for an additional minute on the other side, or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
