Banana Buttermilk Pancakes for Sunday Dinner

Banana Buttermilk Pancakes for Sunday Dinner
Originally uploaded by Just Nora

Nothing is more fun than cooking with my guys. We had an intense weekend, with Ben being rushed to the emergency room Friday evening from a severe poison ivy reaction. After 3 doses of prednisone now, he's feeling much better but it will be a week or two before he's completely healed.

I have the world's best low-fat buttermilk pancake recipe. It came from Susan Powter's book entitled "C'mon America, Let's Eat!." Her recipe, on pages 218-219, takes a few moments to assemble, but is worth the effort.

I mix all the ingredients in the work bowl of my food processor, then pour into a 1 quart glass measuring cup for Eric to pour and fry. Susan's recipecalls for blueberries, but I've made this many times with bananas or even with no fruit.

When Ben has a pack of hungry teenagers over for a sleep over, I usually double the batch. Any leftovers refrigerate beautifully and reheat in a flash for a quick work or school day breakfast.

My link for Susan's bookoffers the book for sale beginning at a price of 75 cents. That's right, I said 75 cents!  This is an incredible deal -- it's worth buying the book just for this recipe alone!
