How to Cook Pancakes and Other Banana Breakfast Food

If you are learning how to cook pancakes, I must tell you that my favorite is a banana pancake recipe. I have told you many times that I freeze all my extra ripe bananas. I try them in many different things when I cook. I started thawing the bananas and cutting them up in my pancakes. They are so delicious that now I add bananas almost every time make pancakes.

If you use a pancake mix, prepare it as instructed and add a cut up banana. The following is a banana pancake recipe. Add ¼ cup of chopped nuts if you like.

BANANA PANCAKE RECIPE

• 1 ½ Cup flour

• 3 Tablespoons sugar
• 1 Beaten egg
• 1 Cup milk (if you like thick pancakes use ¾ cup, for thinner use 1 ¼ cup)
• 3 Tablespoons melted butter

Sift together all dry ingredients. Combine milk, eggs and melted butter. Gradually add the liquid to the dry ingredients, stirring to blend. Do not beat, only blend thoroughly. Scoop ¼ cup of batter onto a hot griddle. Serve with syrup, honey, molasses or sweet jams.
