IHOP Banana Caramel Pancakes
Description
This recipe combines classic pancake ingredients with instant banana pudding mix to infuse the batter with banana flavor and sweetness. The pancake batter is mixed thoroughly and cooked on a heated surface until bubbles form and edges are set, then flipped for a short additional cook, yielding soft, tender pancakes.
Assembling involves layering pancakes with a spread of banana pudding and fresh banana slices to add moisture and fruitiness between layers. The finished stack is topped with caramel topping and whipped cream, adding rich, creamy, and sugary elements that complement the banana base. The use of non-stick spray on the pancake turner helps prevent sticking and ease flipping.
If the batter is too thick, additional buttermilk can be incorporated for smoother pouring and cooking.
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 1/2 teaspoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 cup vegetable oil
- 1 egg beaten
- 1 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 4 ounce instant banana pudding mix
- 2 banana sliced
- 1/2 cup caramel topping
- 1 cup Whipped Cream
Instructions
- Prepare banana pudding according to package directions. Place first five ingredients into a bowl; add buttermilk, oil, and egg. With a spoon mix all ingredients and beat until smooth.
- Heat a frying pan or a griddle to 375 degrees. Spray cooking surface with non-stick spray. Pour 4 ounces of batter for each pancake, cook until hot and bubbly one side, flip and then cook for about another 30 seconds or so and remove from the cooking surface.
- Place pancakes on a plate until they are ready to be used. Turning pancakes is made much easier if you spray your pancake turner with a non-stick spray. The turner does not stick to the uncooked dough of pancake when you are turning them. If batter seems to be too thick, add a little more buttermilk and mix well.
- To assemble, lay one pancake on a plate, add about 1/4 cup of banana cream and spread on a pancake. Place about 4 or 5 banana slices onto banana pudding. Top banana pudding layer with another pancake. Add 4 or 5 slices of banana to the top of the pancake. Drizzle with caramel sauce. Top with whipped cream if desired.
