How many times have you had bananas go bad right after you have purchased them? Sometimes it is hard to use them up and not get sick of the flavor. Over ripe bananas taste terrible so using them in a delicious manner is a little difficult. They can be made into bread or muffins but what if you do not have the time for that. Instead make a banana pancake recipe that will only take a little bit of time and a few other ingredients.
Bananas get over ripe when the skins start to turn brown and spotty. This is when they are absolutely perfect to cook with. Make sure the fruit of the banana does not have brown or black spots and if it does cut them out. If the consistency is a bit mushy it is time to use them to make pancakes.
You will need two bowls to make these pancakes. In the first one measure one cup of white flour, one tablespoon sugar, one fourth teaspoon of salt and two teaspoons of baking powder. You will want to combine all these ingredients and go to the next bowl.
In bowl number two beat one egg well. Measure two tablespoons vegetable oil and one cup of milk and add it to the egg. Remove the peel from two bananas that are over ripe. Put them in a cereal bowl and mash them with a fork until they are mashed down well. Throw the banana in with egg milk combination and whisk this well with a large kitchen whisk. Now start to gradually add the mixture in the first bowl. Whisk each addition in until all mixed. If the batter gets too heavy switch to a large spoon to stir this extremely lumpy batter.
Place a large skillet on a burner and get it hot then add some vegetable oil. Scoop out a fourth of a cup of the pancake batter and put it in the skillet. Wait until the bottom of the pancake gets brown and flip it over for the other side to get done and place it on a dish with some butter spread on it.
You can add a few things to the batter to make them more unusual and one thing is about 1 to 2 tablespoons of smooth peanut butter. Another is one fourth of a cup of mini chocolate chips. Another variation is to add one fourth cup of sliced strawberries.
There are many things you can put on top of your pancakes. You can use syrup or just put on some whipped cream. To make a dessert pancake you can put on chocolate syrup. Honey or caramel sauce that is normally used for ice cream is good. You can make these pancakes for breakfast or lunch and they even come in handy as a special dessert.
