The method
Step by step
- 1

About 1 min
- 2
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract.
About 1 min
- 3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay. Overmixing can lead to tough pancakes.
- 4
Gently fold in the mashed ripe banana.
About 1 min
- 5
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: A good test is to sprinkle a few drops of water on the pan; they should sizzle and evaporate quickly.
- 6
Add a small amount of butter for cooking to the hot pan, spreading it evenly.
- 7
Pour portions of the batter onto the skillet, leaving space between them.
- 8
Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and bubbles form on the surface.
About 5 min
Cook’s note: Flip only when you see bubbles appearing and the edges look set.
- 9
Remove cooked pancakes from the skillet and serve immediately. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter for cooking as needed.
