Banana Pancakes

This is another family favorite, banana pancakes, introduced by this Mommy, recipe adapted from this website. This is an Old Fashioned Pancake recipe highly recommended by the writer. I added bananas to enhanced the taste. It is an ideal snack for tea time.

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 1/4 cups milk
1 egg
3 tablespoons butter, melted
Banana (I used 4 medium sized pisang emas, but pisang berangan would be better)

Methods:
1. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, egg and melted butter; mix until smooth. Heat a lightly oiled frying pan over medium high heat.

2. Mash banana with a masher or fork. Add to the batter.

3. Pour or scoop the batter onto the frying pan (I used benjo mould to form a better round shape, but you must use slow fire so that the pancake wouldn't burn) using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.

* If you are using benjo mould, take away the mould once the pancake is 3/4 cooked or when it is about to set. Then, turn over and brown the other side.
