Ingredients

  • 2 medium bananas mashed
  • 2 cups (256 g) flour
  • ¾ teaspoon (4.3 g) salt
  • 3 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons (9.20 g) baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon (4.60 g) baking soda
  • 1/4 -1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg (optional)
  • 2 eggs , yolks and egg white separated
  • ½ teaspoon (2 g) vanilla extract
  • 1 3⁄4 cups (320 g) buttermilk (See notes for substitute)
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • melted butter or oil for panfrying

Instructions

  • Add peel bananas into a bowl, then mash using a potato masher or the dinner fork Leave the bananas as chunky or as smooth as you prefer. You may leave the bananas as chunky as you like or puree.
  • In a large bowl combine flour, salt, sugar, baking powder , baking   soda and nutmeg (if using any), whisk to fully combine.
  • Whisk in eggs,  buttermilk and vanilla into the bowl of mashed bananas. Thoroughly mix. If you like fluffy pancakes , separate the egg whites from the yolk and only add the yolk . Whisk  egg whites  until soft peaks form . Set aside 
  • Then add to flour mixture , mix as little as possible until fully combine.
  •  Slowly fold in melted butter , you will have a thick batter. Do not over mix, it makes the pancakes tough.
  • Finally fold in  eggs whites until fully combine. Set batter aside until ready to use .
  • Heat a lightly oiled cast iron or frying pan over medium high heat. Scoop about ¼ cup each of the batter onto the cast. You will probably need to help spread the batter.
  • Gently flatten with a back of a spatula or back of a spoon to even out the batter. Fry until bubbles start to appear on surface and edges of pancake starts to brown about 2-3 minutes.
  • Flip and cook the other side for another minute or two until golden brown. Repeat until pancake mixture is finished.
  • Remove and serve immediately with syrup and/or butter.
