Equipment

  • Mixing bowl for preparing the pancake batter
  • Whisk for mixing the ingredients
  • Non-stick skillet for cooking the pancakes
  • Spatula for flipping pancakes
  • Saucepan for making the bananas foster topping

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/4 cups milk whole or dairy-free alternative
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract for pancakes
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter for topping
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar for topping
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon for topping
  • 2 tbsp dark rum optional, for authentic flavor
  • 2 bananas sliced
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup for drizzling

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  • Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and stir in the brown sugar and cinnamon. Cook until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens, about 2 minutes. Add the rum (if using) and stir. Toss in the sliced bananas and cook for another 1-2 minutes until coated and caramelized.
  • Stack pancakes on a plate, top with the caramelized bananas, and drizzle with maple syrup. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Make It Alcohol-Free: Skip the rum and add a splash of vanilla extract to the sauce instead.
  • Storage: Leftover pancakes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in a toaster or pan.
  • Serving Tip: Serve with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra decadent touch.
