Banana Pancakes- serves 2 (makes 5 pancakes)
Wet Ingrediants:
1 large egg
3/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 organic banana
Dry Ingrediants:
3/4 cup all-purpose unbleached flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
pinch of nutmeg
combine all wet-ingrediants (exceot the banana) well and all dry-ingrediants well and add the together. After batter it well mixed, cube the banana and add to the batter. In a pre-heated cast-iron skillet add 1/2 teaspoon of butter, let melt, then pour in about 1/4 cup of the batter in. cook one side until bubbles appear, then flip. continue process until all the batter is gone. serve warm with maple syrup and sliced banana's as garnish.
Enjoy!
Just a heads up for any pancake-finatics: the secret to light, fluffy pancakes that are not hard with 'tunnels' is to NOT overmix the ingredients. Quickly whisk the wet and dry together until moist and there are no more loose packets of flour; but do not be afraid of lumps! The lumpier the pancakes, the fluffier they'll become (overmixing releases the gluten in the flour - great for making break; disasterous for pancakes and muffins!)
