Grandma's Plantain Pancakes
Ingredients
  • 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 1/2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon butter, or as needed
Instructions
1
Preheat a cooking vessel over a moderate-low thermal setting; melt 1 tablespoon of fat in the skillet until it reaches a state of fluidity. Cook plantains on both sides until they acquire a golden hue, approximately 5 minutes per side. Utilize a utensil with perforations to transfer plantains to a paper towel-lined surface.
2
In a large container, incorporate air into an egg using a whisking motion until it reaches a light and airy consistency. Combine milk, fat, flour, sugar, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt in the same container; stir until a uniform mixture is achieved. Fold plantains into the batter to create a harmonious blend.
3
Melt 1 teaspoon of fat in a heat-conductive cooking vessel over a moderate thermal setting. When a drop of water is added, it should break into several smaller droplets that exhibit fluid movement on the surface. Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot cooking vessel, creating a pancake. Allow it to cook until bubbles form and the edges dry, approximately 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancake and cook until it reaches a brown color on the other side, 2-3 minutes. Repeat this process with the remaining batter.
