Banana and egg pancakes
These small, soft pancakes use just a banana and an egg for the batter. They are delicate, so make them silver-dollar size and turn gently.

Everyday homemade waffles
Crisp at the edges and tender inside, these straightforward waffles use pantry ingredients. Serve as they cook or keep them on a rack in a low oven.
Make it at home.
Ingredients
Step by step
Step 1
Heat your waffle iron according to its instructions. Whisk the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a bowl.
Step 2
In another bowl, whisk the milk, eggs and oil. Pour into the dry mixture and stir just until no dry pockets remain; a few small lumps are fine.
Step 3
Lightly grease the iron if its manufacturer recommends it. Add the amount of batter specified for your model.
Step 4
Cook until golden and the steam has slowed. Lift out carefully and serve, or keep on a rack in a 200°F (95°C) oven while cooking the rest.
