Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk

For Bananas Foster Topping

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon rum extract
  • 4 ripe bananas sliced

Instructions

  • Melt the butter in a large bowl, then whisk in the egg.
  • Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and buttermilk. Mix just until combined. The batter should be a bit lumpy. Add more buttermilk if it's too dry.
  • Heat a pan on the stove top over medium heat. Add about a 1/4 of a cup of batter to the pan for each pancake. Cook until the top is dry and the bottom is golden brown then flip and wait for the bottom to brown before taking the pancake off.

For Bananas Foster Sauce

  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium high heat. Add in the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, maple syrup, and rum extract and whisk to combine.
  • Bring to a soft boil and cook for 2-3 minutes, until slightly thickened.
  • Add in the sliced bananas and stir to coat in sauce. Maintain a low boil for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat. Top the pancakes with the sauce and bananas.

Notes

  • You can replace the rum extract with 1 tbsp of rum. It will take slightly longer to cook off the alcohol in the rum. You don't have to light the sauce on fire to cook it off, it will just take longer (around 5 minutes).
  • Leftover topping is delicious over vanilla ice cream.
