Bananas Foster Pancakes

Bananas Foster Pancakes

The bananas belong on the griddle, where they caramelize into the pancake instead of sliding off it. Warm rum cream sauce brings the familiar Bananas Foster flavor without a tableside flame.

Butter Club Notes

This is exactly the kind of pancake that needs to be built on the griddle, not just topped after the fact. When the bananas hit the hot surface after the flip, they soften, caramelize, and become part of the pancake instead of sliding around on top. The brown sugar rum cream sauce gives you that Bananas Foster flavor without turning breakfast into a full tableside flambé situation. Finish it with whipped cream, rum butter, toasted pecans, and a little cinnamon, and you’ve got a pancake that feels like brunch showed up dressed for dinner.
