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.
