Buttermilk Banana Pancakes

Yield:
2 dozen pancakesIngredients
3 cups flour
1 tablespoon plus pinch baking powder
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 quart buttermilk
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 bananas, sliced into 20 rounds each
1 cup warm maple syrup
Instructions
In a medium-size bowl, whisk dry ingredients. In a separate large bowl, whisk eggs. Whisk in buttermilk and 6 tablespoons melted butter.
Whisk dry ingredients into egg mixture just until incorporated–don’t overmix. Let rest 5 minutes.
Heat a large nonstick saute pan or griddle to medium (about 350°). Melt enough remaining butter to spread a thin, even film over the surface of the pan.
Ladle about 1/4 cup batter per pancake into pan and let spread into rounds. Let cook about 30 seconds. Place a few banana slices on each pancake and let cook until bubbles break the surface. Flip gently and cook about 1 minute, until golden-brown.
Serve with warm maple syrup.
