Banana Walnut Pancakes

1. In a medium bowl combine all of the dry ingredients (flour through salt).

2. Add the egg, buttermilk, banana and melted butter. Whisk rapidly until it is completely combined. Fold in the walnut pieces.

3. In a large heavy skillet or griddle over medium high heat, heat a thin layer of vegetable oil. When the oil is hot, add scoops of the batter into the pan in your preferred pancake size, keeping some space between each. Cook 3-4 pancakes at a time. Flip them when they are golden brown on the edges and little bubbles form on the top of the batter. Then cook the other side until golden brown. Remove cooked pancakes to a plate and finish cooking the rest of the batter.

4. Stack them and eat them hot with butter, syrup and freshly sliced bananas.
