Banana Walnut Pancakes

Ingredients:

* 2cups All purpose Flour 

* 1/2cup Granulated Sugar 

* 2tsp Baking Powder

* 1tsp Baking Soda

* 1/2tsp Salt 

* 1 1/2cups Buttermilk  

* 1/3cup Unsalted Melted Butter

* 2 Bananas peeled, and mashed 

* 2tsp Vanilla Extract 

* 2 Eggs 

* 1/2cup Walnut pieces

* Oil to grease skillet

For Serving: 

* 2-4 Bananas 

* Butter

* Maple syrup 

* Walnut pieces 

Directions:

1. Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, sugar and salt in a bowl, and whisk together. 

2. Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the buttermilk, vanilla, egg and the melted butter (slightly cooled). Start by whisking the wet ingredients together, gradually incorporating the dry ingredients around it. Mix until the ingredients are all combined. Whisk for an additional 1 minute (you will appraciate the result - fluffy, light pancakes). Next add in the mashed banana and fold in well. Then fold in the walnuts.  

3. Check the batter consistency by using a ladle to pour some batter. Should the batter feel too thick and not pour out of the ladle easily (not too runny though), add in an additional tablespoon or two of milk, and whisk well, until desired consistency is achieved. Set aside for approximately 5-10 minutes. 

4. Heat a griddle or frying pan on medium heat, add a little butter to grease the pan. For best results use a paper towel dipped in oil or butter and wipe the griddle or pan with oil or butter prior to pouring the batter. 

5. Once the griddle is hot, pour a 1/3cup of batter on to the griddle, and swirl the batter around. Once cooked on one side, flip the pancake to cook on the other. 

6. Cut up some banana to add on to the top of each pancake. 

7. Pancakes can be served with bananas, walnuts, maple syrup and butter.
