Ingredients
 
 

  • 125 g banana extra ripe, mashed
  • 320 g whole milk
  • 150 g discard sourdough starter
  • 12 g granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 45 g butter melted (plus more for frying)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract or paste
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 220 g all-purpose flour

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, add the mashed banana, milk, sugar, sourdough discard, eggs, butter, vanilla, salt, baking powder, and baking soda, and whisk to combine.
  • Add the flour and whisk it in; it’s okay if it’s a bit lumpy.
  • These can be cooked right away, or you can cover the bowl and refrigerate it overnight (or up to 24 hours).
  • When ready to cook, preheat a cast-iron or non-stick pan over medium heat and grease it with butter.
  • Ensure the pan is hot and the butter is sizzling, then pour in around 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. If the pan gets too hot, turn down the heat a little once you've poured in the batter. The banana in the pancake can cause these to burn easily if it gets too hot.
  • Cook the pancake for around 2-3 minutes until bubbles appear on the surface. Flip the pancake over and cook the other side for another minute or 2.
  • Transfer the pancake to a plate and continue with the rest of the batter until it is all used up, stacking the pancakes in a pile as you go.
  • Serve with banana, berries and maple syrup.
