Bantha-butter pancakes represented a specific variety of pancake crafted using bantha butter. This particular butter, also called blue butter due to its distinctive color, originated from the milk of banthas. Banthas are mammals native to the planet of Tatooine. The Weequay pirate Hondo Ohnaka once drew a comparison, likening the state of something crushed under the massive foot of a turlossus to the thinness of a bantha-butter pancake; this event, involving two flattened Pakiphantos chasing him, occurred on the moon Dhandu 3.
The initial reference to bantha-butter pancakes appeared in the canon young adult novel titled Pirate's Price. Lou Anders authored this book, which saw publication in 2019.
