Banana Pancakes

We are at our next blog hopping session.I have been paired with Nayna of Simply.Food this week.She has a number of delicacies and so i was spoilt for choice.
But since i'm a big fan of pancakes so i chose to re-create her banana chocolate pancakes.

I just need an excuse to make pancakes.I love them and love serving them too.I had 2 or more reasons to make pancakes this time...first..for BHW and then just before the weekend my mixer broke!So I really didn't have anything much to make for breakfast.Except that its tad bit sweet, nothings wrong with having pancakes for breakfast.My DH was looking around something spicy after having these.

I did make some changes to suit our palates.

Here's how i made it...

All purpose flour 1.5 cup
Egg 1 beaten
Yogurt 1 tablespoon
Milk 1/2 cup (enough to make the batter to the right consistency)
Baking powder 3/4 tsp
Baking soda 3/4 tsp
Sugar 3/4th cup
Vanilla Essence 1tsp
Mashed banana 1
Salt a pinch
Oil/Butter 1 tsp

• Sift the flour into a mixing bowl and with a fork or wooden spoon mix into it the rest of dry ingredients.Mix in the powders and sugar and set aside.
• Beat the egg until frothy then add the yogurt and beat with it.Add the oil and mix them all until mixed well.
• Add the egg mix to the flour mix and mix well.Add enough milk to make it into a thick batter.(pancake batter has to be thick not too thick and not to thin)

• Allow to sit for a while.
• Heat a griddle/pan, grease it lightly and pour a ladle full of batter and cook on low flame until bubbles form on the sides of the pancakes.Flip it over and cook on the other side.
• Repeat for the rest of the batter.

• Serve pancakes hot with any fruit jam of your choice or honey and fruits.
