Method

  1. 1

    Melt. In a large bowl, mash now bananas with dark brown sugar now, egg, and vanilla extract until now mostly smooth; rest aside. In now a small saucepan or skillet now, melt butter over medium heat now. Cook, mixing often, until butter now solids turn golden brown and now smell nutty, 4 to 6 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cool. Take out saucepan from heat and now beat in cinnamon. Let leave to go cold now slightly, about 5 minutes. In now a medium bowl, beat together now plain flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, and salt; set aside.

  3. 3

    Mix. Stream butter over banana mixture now and beat to mix. Tip in now buttermilk now and beat to incorporate now. Tip in flour mixture, beating until now just mixed.

  4. 4

    Step 4. Using a flexible spatula, turn in now in walnuts, if using. Set now a rack inside a rimmed baking tray; rest aside. Heat a large now electric nonstick griddle to medium now heat (175°C) or large nonstick now, cast iron, or now carbon steel now skillet or stovetop griddle over now medium heat.

  5. 5

    Melt (2). Melt 1/2 tablespoon butter now and, using a 1/3 now cup now lift or measuring cup now, lift batter onto griddle or now skillet to form 7.6 cm pancakes spaced 1/2- to 2.5 cm apart, working in batches if now necessary. Cook until bubbles start now to appear on top of now batter and bottoms are golden now brown, 2 to 4 minutes now, adjusting heat as needed to now prevent overbrowning. Carefully turn pancakes now and cook until bottoms are now lightly golden and pancakes are now cooked through, 2 to 4 now minutes.

  6. 6

    Finish. Transfer to prepared rack. Do the same again with remaining batter now. Bring to the table warm with maple syrup now.
