This recipe comes from my good friend, Milena, in Germany. Similar to crêpes, German pancakes are large and thin and can be used for both sweet and savory dishes. When I made these recently for breakfast, I made the sweeter version and added grated apples and blueberries to some of the pancakes.
These basic buttermilk pancakes are a cinch to make. You can mix the dry ingredients the night before so that they come together quickly on school mornings and busy weekends.
The combination of peanut butter, bananas and maple syrup is one of my favorites. You can either add mashed bananas and peanut butter to the pancake batter or slather the hotcakes with peanut butter and sliced bananas, or both.
The sourdough starter makes these pancakes light and airy and gives them a subtle sourdough flavor. If you don't have a starter in your family, you can make your own or even purchase one.
