• 2 tsp baking powder

• ¼ tsp salt

directions

wet ingredients

Melt the butter first to cool down slightly while preparing the other ingredients.

Mash the banana as smoothly as possible with a fork or potato masher. Then add all the rest of the wet ingredients and mix well until blended.

dry ingredients

Sift all the dry ingredients through a fine mesh sieve and whisk to distribute evenly.

batter

Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and gently mix until no flour streaks remain. Try not to overmix the batter – some lumps in the batter are okay. Then, let the batter rest for about 10 minutes.

cooking

In a nonstick pan, melt butter over medium heat and spread it across the pan. Once the butter begins to foam, pour ⅓ cup of batter onto the pan.

Cook until bubbles rise to the surface and the edges look dry, for about 2 minutes. The batter should rise slightly and begin to bubble. Flip the pancake over and cook until golden brown on the bottom for a minute.

Serve with softened butter and warm maple syrup.
