Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk or milk substitute
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ripe banana mashed
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter or oil plus more for cooking

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk or fork
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Nonstick skillet or griddle
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Mix the Wet Ingredients
  4. In another bowl, beat the egg. Add the milk, vanilla extract, mashed banana, and melted butter, stirring until combined.
  5. Combine the Ingredients
  6. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, gently stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing – a few lumps are fine and help keep the pancakes fluffy.
  7. Heat the Skillet or Griddle
  8. Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a little butter or oil. Once hot, reduce to medium-low to prevent burning.
  9. Cook the Pancakes
  10. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden brown.
  11. Serve
  12. Remove pancakes from the skillet and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil as needed.
