Steps

1

First, everything is dependent on the size of your eggplant, and how many pancakes you want. 1 cup of chopped, uncooked eggplant makes 4 (3in) pancakes. Use the smaller amount of ingredients for 4-6 pancakes, and the larger amount to double. Do Not add an extra egg, though:-)
2

Steam the chopped eggplant until cooked, about 10min. Let cool on a towel lined plate.
3

Heat oil to a medium (5) in a large pan, skillet, with deep sides preferred.
4

In a mixing bowl, beat egg w/ softened butter. Add flour, baking powder, brown sugar, and eggplant. Mash the eggplant and combine.
5

Place by 'spoonful' (I pour right from mixing bowl) into hot oil. Cook until bubbly on top, then flip. Remove when nice and browned, place on a towel lined plate. (they will look like pancakes)
