Author Notes

Yes, this is a "Pancake", but I often serve as a dessert or an afternoon snack. I haven't tried this for breakfast, but you can go ahead and give it a shot.. this is very easy, and can be made with any sweetener. There are a lot of substitutions suggested, so you can work with the combination that you like. Every time I see an almost ripe banana on my counter-top, I make this pancake. The original recipe is from my mom, but I have adapted it and named it "American Style".

The original recipe is "Banana Dosa" and uses Rice Flour, Jaggery (Indian Brown Sugar) and Coconut Milk. —madrascoffee

There are no bananas and what "more/less liquids" are being added?
"A hot ableskiver pan": what is this?
