How to Make Banana Pancake

  1. In a large bowl, sift together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
  2. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup mashed ripe bananas, 1 large egg, ½ cup milk (or coconut milk for a tropical twist!), 2 tablespoons melted butter, 2 tablespoons sugar, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the well, incorporating the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat.
  6. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  7. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles start to appear on the surface and the edges look set.
  8. Serve immediately, topped with sliced bananas, a drizzle of honey, fresh fruit (like mangoes or papaya!), a squeeze of lime, or a sprinkle of sugar. Enjoy your taste of Papua New Guinea!
