Steps
1
Mix batter
Mix batter – 5:00
🔪 5 min

Start Step
Use room-temperature butter — cold butter won't blend into the batter smoothly. Take it out 20 minutes before you start.

Start Step
Medium heat is key. Too hot and the outside burns before the inside cooks. Sprinkle a drop of water — it should dance and evaporate in 1 second.

Slice toppings

Start Step
Pick a firm but ripe banana — too soft and slices collapse on the plate, too green and it's bland. Yellow with a few spots is perfect.
4
Warm syrup
Warm maple syrup – 2:00

Start Step
Maple syrup should be gently warmed — never boiled. Pour it into a small saucepan on very low heat for 1–2 minutes, or microwave 20 seconds. It should feel warm to the touch.

Stack & serve

Start Step
Place the largest pancake at the bottom and slightly smaller ones on top. This keeps the stack stable and looks great. Aim for 3–4 pancakes per serving.
Chef Tips
Use room-temperature butter — cold butter won't blend into the batter smoothly. Take it out 20 minutes before you start.
Use a very ripe banana with brown spots — it's sweeter and mashes smoother. Mash it with a fork until no large lumps remain.
A few lumps are totally fine. Overmixing develops gluten and makes pancakes tough instead of fluffy. Stir just until the dry ingredients disappear.
Medium heat is key. Too hot and the outside burns before the inside cooks. Sprinkle a drop of water — it should dance and evaporate in 1 second.
Wait until bubbles form across the whole surface and the edges look set (no longer shiny). Flip once and only once — flipping again deflates the pancake.
