Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 2 pieces overripe plantains Adds natural sweetness and creaminess.
  • 1 cup gluten-free flour Ensures the pancakes are light and fluffy.
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter Provides richness and enhances flavor.
  • 2 pieces eggs Binds ingredients and contributes to fluffiness.
  • 1 cup milk Delivers creaminess; extra can be added if necessary.
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg Adds warm aroma complementing the sweetness.
  • 1 teaspoon optional extras (cinnamon, vanilla extract, or salt) Enhance flavor.
For Cooking
  • 2 tablespoons oil or butter Used for frying, providing crispy edges.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the peeled and roughly chopped overripe plantain, gluten-free flour, melted butter, eggs, milk, and nutmeg.
  2. Use a whisk or blender to create a smooth batter, adding extra milk if necessary.
Cooking
  1. Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little oil or butter.
  2. Pour in the batter, cooking until bubbles appear on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on both sides, approximately 2-3 minutes per side.
  3. Continue with the remaining batter, adjusting heat as necessary.
Serving
  1. Stack the pancakes on a plate and serve immediately with your desired toppings.

Notes

Use only overripe plantains for sweetness. Batter should be smooth; add milk for consistency. Skillet must be heated adequately to achieve a golden-brown exterior.
