Method

Pancake Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

  2. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, large egg, and melted unsalted butter until smooth.

  3. 3

    Mash Bananas

    In a small bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Stir in the mashed bananas and fresh blackberries, being careful not to overmix.

Cooking Pancakes

  1. 5

    Preheat Pan

    Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a bit of butter.

  2. 6

    Cook Pancakes

    Pour 1/3 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

  3. 7

    Repeat

    Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.

Fruit Puree Preparation

  1. 8

    Make Puree

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the blackberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blackberries break down and the mixture thickens slightly.

  2. 9

    Blend

    Remove from heat and let cool. Then blend until smooth, if desired.

Serving

  1. 10

    Plate Pancakes

    Stack the pancakes on a plate. Top with a pat of unsalted butter and a dusting of powdered sugar.

  2. 11

    Drizzle Syrup

    Serve with real maple syrup and a side of the blackberry puree for drizzling.
