Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Measuring jug or medium sized mixing bowl
  • Frying pan
  • 1/4 cup measure
  • Spatula for pancake flipping

Ingredients
  

  • 315 grams plain flour
  • 45 grams caster sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 2 bananas mashed
  • 200 grams sourdough starter
  • 200 grams buttermilk
  • 2 whole eggs
  • 60 grams melted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, sugar, salt and baking soda.
  • In the measuring jug or medium sized bowl, add the bananas. Mash them well with a whisk/masher until mostly pureed.
  • Add the sourdough starter, buttermilk, eggs, melted butter and vanilla. Whisk well until combined.
  • Add liquids to dry ingredients and whisk again until just barely combined. You may have some lumps left and this is fine.
  • Heat up a frying pan on medium. Spray with cooking spray or put a teaspoon of oil in the pan. Make sure the pan is hot before you start to spoon the pancake batter on.
  • I used a 1/4 cup measure to measure my pancakes but if you prefer larger ones I would recommend a 1/3 or 1/2 cup. I also only cooked two at a time in my pan. If you go smaller, you could fit 3, if you go larger you can probably only fit one.
  • Cook until they start to form air bubbles on top (about 2-3 minutes). Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until they have risen slightly and both sides are a nice light golden brown colour.
