Servings
Makes 9 or 10 pancakes
Ingredients
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup very ripe banana, mashed
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • large pinch ground nutmeg
  • oil for brushing the pan
  • melted butter, sliced fresh banana, sliced fresh strawberries, warmed Nutella or syrup
    • Directions
  • 1.

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, buttermilk, butter, banana and sugar.In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg.

  • 2.

    Pour the liquid ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir together with a fork or small whisk just to combine (over-stirring makes the pancakes tough). It's okay if the batter is a little bit lumpy.

  • 3.

    Heat a nonstick griddle or skillet over medium-high heat. Brush the pan lightly with oil and drop the batter onto the heated skillet in mounded 1/4-cup portions. Cook the pancakes until the batter starts to brown around the edges and little bubbles start to form over the surface of the batter, 1 to 2 minutes. Use your spatula to lift a corner of the pancake to see if it is brown and lacy and ready to turn. Flip the pancake and finish cooking, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Repeat with the remaining pancake batter, brushing the pan with more oil when needed to prevent sticking.

  • 4.

    Serve the warm pancakes drizzled with melted butter, sliced bananas, fresh strawberries, warmed Nutella or syrup.
