Banana Pancakes (Island Skillet Stack) 🥞

Method

1. 1

   Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, soda and salt.

2. 2

   In another bowl mash 2 bananas, then beat in buttermilk, egg, melted butter and vanilla.

3. 3

   Fold wet into dry until just combined — lumps are law. Rest 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Griddle or pan on medium-low, buttered. Ladle batter and let bubbles break the surface before flipping; stack 3-4 per plate.

5. 5

   For the crown: split the 2 topping bananas lengthwise; melt butter and brown sugar, add rum, caramelize the bananas cut-side down 2 minutes.

6. 6

   Lay the caramel bananas over the stack, spoon the sauce through, extra butter and maple alongside.
