Grandma's Soul Food Pancakes (with Plantains)

Grandma's Soul Food Pancakes (with Plantains)
  • 1 tablespoon butter, or more as needed
  • 2 plantains, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (optional)
  • 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


  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
