The Mise en Place

5 of 8

Your prep station before cooking begins

Units

The Dry Mix (0/2)

1 cupall-purpose flour

2 tspbaking powder

The Wet Mix (0/4)

2 wholebananas(very ripe, mashed)

¾ cupsgreek yogurt, plain full-fat(no added sugar)

2 wholeeggs(large)

My pancakes are coming out gummy or doughy.

That usually means the batter was mixed a bit too much, or the heat was a little too high.

My pancakes are browning way too quickly on the outside.

Ah, your pan is likely a bit too hot. Let's bring that heat down to medium-low. If you're seeing browned bits of butter or batter sticking and burning between batches, give the pan…

Chef's Notes

Storage

Refrigerate up to 4 days or freeze up to 2 months. Reheat in toaster or skillet for best texture.

The Method

WHISK

Whisk mashed banana, yogurt, and eggs (2 whole) until smooth.

Uniform wet base prevents flour pockets. • No egg streaks; banana fully mashed • Banana aroma

Checkpoint:

Wet base is uniform

FOLD

Add flour, baking powder (2 tsp), salt, and cinnamon (1 tsp) (if using). Fold just until combined--small lumps are fine. Rest 5 minutes.

Overmixing makes pancakes dense and gummy. • Some small lumps remain

Checkpoint:

Batter cohesive but not overmixed

COOK

Time-sensitive

Heat a skillet over medium-low and melt butter (1 tbsp). Cook 1/4-cup scoops 2-3 minutes per side until golden and set through.

Lower heat cooks the center before the outside burns. • Bubbles form and edges look matte before flipping • Gentle sizzle

Checkpoint:

Centers set; edges lightly browned
