French Banana Pancakes These pancakes have been a Christmas morning tradition for Jerry and I for about the last four Christmas's. They are delicious! They are more like a crepe than a pancake, very light, Pancakes: 1 cup all-purpose flour 1/4 cup confectioner's sugar 1 cup milk 2 eggs 3 Tbs. butter or margarine, melted 1 tsp. vanilla 1/4 tsp. salt Filling: 1/4 cup butter or margarine 1/4 cup packed brown sugar 1/4 tsp. cinnamon 1/4 tsp. nutmeg 1/4 cup light cream 2-4 bananas, halved length-wise Whipped cream and additional cinnamon, optional (but recommended) To make pancake batter, sift flour and confectioner's sugar into a mixing bowl. Add milk, eggs, butter, vanilla and salt; beat until smooth. Heat a lightly greased 6 inch skillet; add about 3 Tbs. of batter, spreading to almost cover bottom of skillet. Cook until lightly browned; turn and brown the other side. Remove to cool, repeat with remaining batter, greasing skillet as needed. For filling: melt butter in a large skillet or pan. Stir in brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir in cream and cook until slightly thickened. Add half of the bananas at a time to the skillet; heat for 2-3 mins., spooning sauce over them. Remove from heat. Roll a pancake around each banana half and place on platter. Spoon sauce over pancakes. Top with whipped cream and a dash of cinnamon if desired. I have found that this recipe only makes about enough for 2 people, 2 pancakes each, esp. the sauce does not make enough for more than 2 people. |
