GRANDMA'S SOUL FOOD PANCAKES (WITH PLANTAINS)
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.

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.

PLANTAIN PANCAKES
Steps:
- Mash the plantains in a large bowl with a potato masher until slightly chunky. Add the cornmeal, buttermilk, flour, butter, scallions, onion, ginger and salt and mash and stir with the potato masher until combined but still slightly chunky. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Put a large nonstick griddle or skillet over medium-high heat; brush with some of the canola oil. Ladle 1/2 cup of the plantain batter onto the griddle and spread it into a 4 1/2-inch circle. Make as many pancakes as you can, leaving some space between each. Griddle the pancakes until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to the baking sheet to drain any excess oil. Repeat with the remaining canola oil and batter until all the batter is used. Serve hot.

GRANDMA'S PANCAKES
This has been in the family for a while, don't know were it came from, was just passed around and around for 50yrs or more..lol.. i have tried a lot of other recipes but this one is still the best . you get thick cake pancakes and they rise very well we measured once and they were up to 3/4 in thick. This is a very plain recipe sometime i omit the vanilla and/or add fruit and or nuts.. If the batter is a little thicker than you like it , just add more milk, just be careful not to add to much ad they will not rise as much and be more like a flapjack(thin and chewy).

Steps:
- Combine dry ingredients together. Beat egg into milk and add to dry ingredients. Melt then cool the butter so you are not adding to your pancake mixture hot! Finish batter by stirring in vanilla.
- Cook on a HOT griddle (around 400 degrees).
- Enjoy!
Tips:
- Use ripe plantains: The riper the plantains, the sweeter and more flavorful your pancakes will be. Look for plantains that are mostly black with a bit of yellow or green.
- Boil the plantains until they are very soft: This will make them easy to mash and incorporate into the pancake batter. You can boil them whole or cut them into chunks before boiling.
- Mash the plantains until they are very smooth: This will help to create a light and fluffy pancake. You can use a fork, potato masher, or food processor to mash the plantains.
- Add your favorite spices and flavorings: This recipe is a great base for experimentation. Try adding cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, or allspice to the batter. You could also add vanilla extract or maple syrup for sweetness.
- Cook the pancakes over medium heat: This will help to prevent them from burning. Cook them for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown.
- Serve the pancakes with your favorite toppings: Butter, syrup, fruit, and whipped cream are all great options.

These Grandma's Soul Food Pancakes with Plantains are a delicious and unique twist on a classic breakfast dish. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you're looking for a new pancake recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
