Ingredients

• Pancake Mix — 250 g All Purpose Flour
• Pancake Mix — ½ tsp Kosher Salt
• Pancake Mix — 3 tsp Baking Powder
• Pancake Mix — ½ tsp Baking Soda
• Pancake Mix — 3 Tbsp Granulated Sugar
• Pancake Mix — 2 Large Eggs
• Pancake Mix — 1 cup Milk
• Pancake Mix — 1 cup Buttermilk
• Pancake Mix — 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
• Pancake Mix — ¼ cup Salted Butter Melted
• Bananas Foster Syrup — 3 Medium-Sized Bananas Cut into Coins
• Bananas Foster Syrup — ½ cup Dark Brown Sugar Packed
• Bananas Foster Syrup — ½ cup Maple Syrup
• Bananas Foster Syrup — ½ tsp Ground Cinnamon
• Bananas Foster Syrup — ½ cup Rum
• Bananas Foster Syrup — ¼ cup Salted Butter

Method

1. MIX THE BATTER: Combine the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda and sugar. In a separate bowl, mix the eggs, milk, buttermilk and vanilla. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, gently whisking in the melted butter. Leave a few lumps; do not overmix.
2. COOK THE PANCAKES: Cook in small batches over medium heat, greasing the pan with butter between batches. Wipe out the pan before making the syrup.
3. START THE SYRUP: Heat the sauté pan over medium heat. Add the butter, brown sugar and cinnamon. Stir until the butter melts and the mixture comes together. Add the bananas, stir to coat and cook for about 1 minute.
4. FINISH THE SYRUP: Remove the pan from the heat before adding the measured rum. If flambéing, carefully ignite with a long lighter, keeping clear of overhead cabinets and the hood. Never pour rum directly from the bottle into the pan. Let the flames subside, stirring occasionally, then stir in the maple syrup. Serve with the pancakes.
