I usually prefer Eastern-European style thin unleavened blinis, but somehow I felt like US-style banana #pancakes for days. And since it's Saturday and I had some very sad bananas in my fridge ...

Voila! They are melt-in-your-mouth perfect.

I followed this recipe, except that I used 2 bananas (1.5 bananas are a stupid amount!); pancake recipes are forgiving. Some eaten with maple syrup, rest to be frozen for work days:

Isn't Ukrainian Syrnyky like American pancakes but with a kind of cottage cheese a lot of times? I made them once and enjoyed them thoroughly.

@dotmavriq no - syrniki are always made with quark/tworog (thus the name, since syr means cheese) and no baking powder/yeast is used while American pancakes get the fluffiness from a leavening agent and don't have quark/tworog.

They are very yummy (and also excellent meal prep), but altogether a different dish.

@vicgrinberg for context: I'm Swedish. So the cooking guides that have informed me about what one might substitute tworog for... And our Keso is not 1to1 identical with what the Anglos define as cottage cheese.

But yes, they are yummy indeed!

@dotmavriq yeah, milk products vary a lot between different countries 😊

In Sweden we make Pannkakor! Or rather: that's the name of our endemic pancake. Closer to a crepe but less sweet.
