Wonderful. I've never made banana pancakes til I had 1 lonely banana left. So I tried this recipe. I used brown sugar instead of white and evaporated milk instead of buttermilk. My kids were both back for seconds before I had a chance to finish my first one. Perfect pancakes. Thanks.

Fantastic. Perfectly light and fluffy pannie w/the great taste of banana coming through nicely. I sifted the ingredients as indicated and used real buttermilk which resulted in a real filling pannie that DH only needed 3 to get his fill. I used a 1/3 cup measurer which made them quite large.
Thanks for this great keeper Ace.

I omitted the salt. I made buttermilk with 2% milk and vinegar. It was very easy to do these pancakes. The taste of banana is great. I served mine with maple syrup and whipped cream. Thanks Acerast :) Made for Newest Zaar tag
