How to Make Fluffy Banana Pancakes
In a large bowl, pour the milk over the butter. Sprinkle in the sugar and salt. Heat in the microwave or over a bain marie to melt the butter, then let it cool before adding in the eggs to whisk.
Mash the bananas, leaving chunks to your preferred size, but the smaller the better. Tip this into the milk mixture.
Sift the flour, cinnamon, and baking soda into the wet ingredients and fold using a spatula. Do not overmix.
Heat your pan/griddle and leave the heat at low-medium, use a ladle to scoop a sizeable amount of the batter. Use a spoon to flatten and shape the batter.
Let each side cook for about 1 minute and 15 seconds.
Serve.
