Sunday Brunch

Platter of banana pancakes.

While I was still asleep this morning, Tony found a couple of recipes on a British website (BBC Good Food) for using up two over-ripe bananas to make pancakes. He combined them and used a conversion website to change the measurements from grams and milliliters. He wasn’t feeling great and went back to bed, then when I got up I finished combining the wet and dry ingredients. The recipe made 7 pancakes; I think I made them a bit on the large side. Since my son and I were the only ones up, we pretty much finished them off.

Banana Pancakes
1 C (140g) flour
1 t baking powder
2 T brown sugar
2 mashed ripe bananas
2 eggs
2 T butter
1/2 (125ml) C milk

Mix the dry ingredients in a small bowl. Mash the bananas in a medium bowl and blend in the rest of the wet ingredients. Stir in the dry ingredients. Spray a hot griddle or pan over medium heat and spoon the batter so there’s space between them to spread a bit. After a few minutes, when bubbles start to form in the batter, flip over and brown the other side.
