Ingredients
for the pancakes:
- 2 egg large
- 1 ¾ cups buttermilk 420g
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup granulated sugar 50g
- 3 tablespoons butter melted, 45g
- 2 cups all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ⅛ teaspoon salt fine sea salt
for the bananas foster topping:
- ¼ cup butter 60g
- ⅓ cup light brown sugar 70g
- ¼ cup rum
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch salt
- 2 banana firm, not ripe
- ¼ cup walnuts or pecans, chopped
Instructions
Cook the pancakes:
- Add the eggs, buttermilk, melted and slightly cooled butter, vanilla, and sugar into a large bowl. Whisk until combined.
- Hang a sieve over the bowl. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to the sieve. Stir with a spoon then sift the mixture to the bowl.
- Whisk until just combined (don't overmix the batter).
- Heat a small amount of clarified butter (or a mix of butter and oil) in a non-stick pan. Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake. Cook the pancakes over medium heat until golden on both sides. Add a small amount of butter before adding the next portion of the batter to the pan (the pancakes can also be cooked oil-free but I prefer them cooked in a small amount of fat).
Make the bananas foster topping:
- Cut the bananas into slices, chop the walnuts.
- Add all the ingredients for the sauce to a medium/large pan: butter, rum, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, salt. Cook over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved and the sauce is a little bit thickened, about 2-3 minutes (the time may vary depending on the size of the pan, I also like to smell the sauce - you shouldn't smell alcohol).
- Add the bananas and walnuts. Cook for a minute, making sure the bananas are coated in the sauce. The bananas should soften slightly but they shouldn't be too soft and mushy.
- Serve the banana topping with your pancakes.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- You can use spiced rum instead of white rum, but add just 1 ts of vanilla.
- If you want the bananas foster topping less sweet you can add just 3-4 Tbsp of sugar and 3 Tbsp of rum but you'll have a little bit less sauce.
- You can omit the walnuts but I think they add an amazing crunch and flavor in this dish.
- Please note that the sauce is not cooked long enough for the alcohol to evaporate completely. If you don't want to use alcohol, omit it and use water instead. You can also set the rum on fire which will help to reduce the alcohol content.
- To correctly measure the flour you need to: Fluff the flour by stirring it in the bag/flour container with a spoon. Spoon the flour and sprinkle it into your measuring cup. Sweep off the excess flour with the back of a knife. Don’t scoop the flour directly into the measuring cup.
