Pancakes


Ya just gotta love pancakes! This is my favourite recipe:

Banana Pancakes

1 3/4 cups flour all purpose  
2 tablespoons sugar  
4 tsp baking powder  
1/2 tsp salt
 
1 large banana
3 egg yolks  
1 1/2 cups milk  
1/3 cup canola oil 

3 egg whites  

1.    Mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.
2.    Mash the banana in a separate bowl. Mix in the egg yolks, milk and oil.
3.    In a small bowl, beat egg whites with an electric mixer at high speed until stiff peaks form. Do not over beat!!
4.    Stir the wet mixture into the dry 
ingredients just until they are combined.
5.    Add the beaten egg whites to the batter 
and fold in.
6.    Drop 1/4 cup portions of batter onto a heated pan or griddle. Cook until bubbles form around the outside of the pancake. 
Turn and cook for another 3 minutes, or until they are cooked through.
