Cooking method
-
Step 1:
Gather the ingredients — there are only two: eggs and bananas. For a couple of servings, two large eggs and one big banana are plenty. Scale the amounts up proportionally for more people.
-
Step 2:
Use ripe, soft bananas — they're sweeter and more fragrant, which matters since no sugar goes into the batter. Peel the bananas, cut them into large chunks, and drop them into a blender.
-
Step 3:
Blend the bananas into a smooth purée.
-
Step 4:
Crack the eggs into the blender with the banana, adding them one at a time and blending on high speed after each.
-
Step 5:
The banana-and-egg batter should be fairly thick, with a foamy cap on top. Heat a dry skillet. Banana pancakes are usually cooked in a dry pan, like American pancakes, but depending on your pan you may need to grease it lightly. Either way, use a good-quality skillet with an intact nonstick surface so nothing sticks — it doesn't have to be expensive.
-
Step 6:
Heat the skillet well, but cook over moderate heat so the pancakes don't burn right away. Spoon the banana batter onto the hot skillet a tablespoon at a time. Keep them small so they're easy to flip. Cook on the first side until bubbles form on the surface, then gently flip with a wooden spatula and cook the other side for about two minutes. Repeat with the rest of the batter.
-
Step 7:
Serve the pancakes with tea, coffee, or cocoa — topped with jam, fresh berries, sweetened condensed milk, or just a dusting of powdered sugar. Enjoy!
- The right skillet makes all the difference — a poorly chosen pan can ruin even the best recipe. A good nonstick pan is key for these pancakes.
- Every oil has a smoke point, the temperature at which it starts to burn and form harmful compounds. If you do grease the pan, choose an oil with a high smoke point.
