Banana bread pancakes with walnuts

Whisk white all-purpose flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda until combined.

Mash one very ripe banana to a smooth paste with a potato masher.

Add one large egg and a little white sugar; whisk about two minutes until the sugar dissolves and it is smooth and frothy.

Add a splash of milk, vanilla extract, melted butter and finely chopped nuts, then the dry ingredients; whisk only until the flour just disappears.

Rest 10 minutes so the flour hydrates and the leaveners activate.

Cook in a generously buttered pan set over medium-high, then reduce to medium; about three minutes until edges dry and bubbles pop through, flip, and give the second side about the same.

variation: sprinkle on chopped dark chocolate before flipping.

Stack, top with a slice of butter, a few banana slices, warm maple syrup and a pinch of chopped walnuts.
