Serves 4

These banana pancakes are extra fluffy thanks to buttermilk plus baking soda/powder, and they develop crisp edges from sizzling in melted butter. They’re perfect for weekend breakfast or brunch, especially when you have very ripe bananas to use up. For the best texture, mix minimally—fold just until the flour disappears and keep the batter lumpy—then cook in batches over medium heat. To keep everything hot, hold cooked pancakes on a rack in a 200°F oven while you finish the rest.

  • 2 cups 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 Tbsp 2 Tbsp (27 g) brown sugar or dark brown sugar
  • 2 tsp 2 tsp (10 g) baking powder
  • 12 tsp 12 tsp (3 g) baking soda
  • 12 tsp 12 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 cups 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 Tbsp 2 Tbsp (27 g) brown sugar or dark brown sugar
  • 2 tsp 2 tsp (10 g) baking powder
  • 12 tsp 12 tsp (3 g) baking soda
  • 12 tsp 12 tsp kosher salt

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt.

  • 1 14 cup 1 14 cup (284 g) buttermilk
  • 1 cup 1 cup overripe banana, mashed

  • 1 14 cup 1 14 cup (284 g) buttermilk
  • 1 cup 1 cup overripe banana, mashed

  • 3 Tbsp 3 Tbsp (43 g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly

Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium. Melt butter until bubbling; working in batches, drop about a scant 1/4 cup batter per pancake. Cook until edges are set and bubbles appear in the center, about 2 minutes; flip and cook until set throughout, another 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; wipe out the pan if the butter starts to burn and add more butter between batches as needed.

  • maple syrup (optional), for serving

Serve pancakes warm with maple syrup, if desired.


Notes

For the fluffiest results, be sure to mix this banana-and-buttermilk pancake batter as minimally as possible. Fold it just until streaks of flour have disappeared but not enough to smooth out the lumps. As they sizzle in plenty of melted butter, they will puff up and develop crisp edges and fluffy, tender interiors. Keep the cooked pancakes warm on a rack in a 200-degree oven while cooking off the rest of the batter and they will all stay hot and ready for serving.
