Sift the flour and baking powder into a large bowl with a generous pinch of salt. In another bowl, use a fork to crush the very ripe bananas to a smooth purée, then beat in the eggs, vanilla and milk. Make a hollow in the dry mix, pour in the banana mixture and whisk quickly into a smooth batter.

Warm a little butter in a big non-stick frying pan over moderate heat. Drop in 2-3 tbsp batter and cook for a few mins, until small bubbles break on the surface. Flip and cook the other side for 1-2 mins. Repeat with the rest of the batter, and park the finished pancakes in a warm, low oven.
