Banana Saffron Pancakes

Ingredients

  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

  • 1 ripe large banana (or 2 small ripe bananas)

  • 2 eggs

  • 2 cups milk

  • 1/2 lemon, juiced

  • Large pinch of Rumi saffron

  • Butter (for griddle)

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, mix together juice of lemon, saffron, and milk. Let sit for 5 minutes.

  2. In a large bowl, mix together baking powder, baking soda, and flour. Once combined, form a well in the center of the flour mixture.

  3. In another small bowl, mash banana well with a fork. Add eggs and mix together.

  4. Pour milk mixture and banana mixture into flour well and whisk until smooth.  

  5. Add butter to griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup per pancake.

  7. Serve hot with your choice or syrup or jam.
