Ingredients

  • 1 cup All-purpose Flour
  • 1 Tablespoon Granulated Sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoons Salt
  • 1 whole Egg, Beaten
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 2 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil
  • 1/2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 2 whole Ripe Bananas, Smashed
  • Optional Toppings: Vanilla Ice Cream, Chocolate Syrup, Maraschino Cherries

Method

  • 1. Combine flour, white sugar, baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl, mix together egg, milk, vegetable oil, vanilla and bananas.
  • 2. Stir flour mixture into banana mixture; batter will be slightly lumpy.
  • 3. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-low heat. (These pancakes turn out better when cooked slower on lower heat that regular pancakes so the insides get a chance to cook before the bottom burns.) Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Cook until pancakes are golden brown on both sides.
  • 4. Serve pancakes hot with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, chocolate syrup and maraschino cherries on top.
  • Servings: About four, with 2-3 pancakes per person.
