In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and
salt. In a small bowl, mash the banana with a fork until almost
smooth.
Whisk in the eggs, then add the milk and vanilla and whisk until well
blended.
Pour the banana mixture and the melted butter into the flour mixture.
Fold the batter gently with a rubber spatula until just blended; do
not over-mix.
The batter will be thick and lumpy.
Set a griddle o non-stick pan over medium heat until hot.
Put a pad of butter and one tablespoon vegetable oil onto the griddle,
and swirl it around.
Drop the batter by1/4-cupfuls onto the griddle, spacing the pancakes
about 2 inches apart.
Cook until a few holes form on top of each pancake and the underside
is golden brown, about 2 imputes.
Flip the pancakes and cook until the bottom is golden brown and the
top is puffed, 1 to 2 minutes more.
Using the spatula, transfer the pancakes to a serving plate.
Wipe the griddle clean with paper towels, add more butter and oil, and
repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve the pancakes while still hot with maple syrup, sliced bananas
and confectioners’ sugar if desired.
Enjoy!
