Grandma's Soul Food Pancakes (with Plantains) image

My grandmother is from Mississippi. I call these her 'soul food' pancakes because she grew up at a time when people who had very little made simple meals taste super delicious. Every Sunday before church, she made these pancakes to get us out of bed. They have a crepe like texture but are still pancakes and are delicious.

Time 30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon butter, or more as needed
2 plantains, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 egg
1 cup evaporated milk
2 tablespoons margarine, melted
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 ½ tablespoons white sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon butter, or as needed

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-low heat; saute plantains until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer plantains to a paper towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon.
  • Beat egg in a large bowl until fluffy. Stir milk and margarine into egg; add flour, sugar, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir mixture until batter is smooth. Fold plantains into batter.
  • Melt 1 teaspoon butter in a heavy griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Griddle is ready with a drop of water breaks into several smaller balls that dance around griddle. Pour batter, about 1/4 cup per pancake, into hot griddle. Cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip pancakes and cook until browned on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.
