My son can be a fussy eater - to the extent that if it looks or has an unusual ingredient he . To help combat that we've instituted Experiment with Food Fridays. I don't do anything completely crazy but I do change up foods that we eat to get him to expand his horizons. Pancakes are easy to change up as I can just print off a brand new recipe and see how it goes. These called for buttermilk which got me a unhappy look, but the end result was "these are good mom".
Banana Pancakes II
These are a bit darker than I usually make them, but I got distracted by a Jaffa attack. :)
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
- 2 small ripe bananas, finely chopped
How to's
- In a large bowl, mix all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, salt, baking powder and sugar. Stir in buttermilk and bananas just until moistened.
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.
The lad's contribution
He made the sour milk to replace the buttermilk as we had none. 1 tsp lemon juice in one cup of milk.
He mixed the dry ingredients together after I measured them out.
We added regular milk to the recipe as the batter was thicker than I was comfortable using.
We served ours with maple syrup, though I thought about doing strawberry jam instead.
