Banana Buttermilk Pancakes

Description: This recipe is a good way to use up bananas and want something a little different for breakfast or dinner. My daughter loves them with chocolate syrup on top but I prefer maple syrup. This recipe came from a back issue of Canadian Living magazine.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/3 cup chopped walnuts
• 1 cup mashed ripe banana (about 2)
• 2 cups buttermilk or 2 cups sour milk
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• butter (for frying)

Steps:

1. In a large bowl, sift or stir together flour, sugar and baking soda; mix in walnuts.
2. Combine bananas, buttermilk, eggs and butter; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.
3. In a large skillet or griddle, melt just enough butter over medium heat to coat the surface of the pan.
4. Pour in about 3 tbsp.
5. of batter for each pancake; cook pancakes, in batches, for 1-1/2 to 2 minutes on one side or until tiny bubbles appear on the surface and the bottom is golden brown.
6. Flip and cook the second side for about 1 minute or until golden.
