Recipe information
Yield
Makes about 10 pancakes
Ingredients
1 very ripe medium banana (about 1/2 pound)
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup yellow cornmeal
3/4 cup milk
1 large egg
1/3 cup pecans, toasted lightly and chopped
vegetable oil for brushing griddle
Accompaniment: pure maple syrup, heated
Preparation
Step 1
Chop banana and in a blender blend with all remaining pancake ingredients except pecans and oil. Transfer batter to a bowl and stir in pecans.
Step 2
Heat a griddle over moderate heat until hot enough to make a drop of water scatter over surface and brush with oil. Working in batches, drop scant 1/4-cup measures of batter onto griddle to form pancakes about 4 inches in diameter and cook until bubbles appear on surface and undersides are golden brown, about 1 minute. Flip pancakes with a metal spatula and cook until undersides are golden brown and pancakes are cooked through, about 1 minute.
Step 3
Serve pancakes with syrup.
