Walnut and Bananas Foster Pancakes

1 cup all purpose flour

1 tsp sugar

1 tsp baking powder

pinch of salt

3 tbsp melted butter + additional for pan

2 large eggs

 1 cup milk

2 tbsp butter

2/3 cup brown sugar

1 tsp vanilla

1 tbsp milk

pinch of salt

2 bananas, sliced

1/4 cup chopped walnuts

Preheat a large frying pan on medium high. Turn the oven to 200ºF or warm.

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a small bowl, whisk the melted butter, eggs, and milk to combine. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and whisk until combine.

Place a dab of butter into the pan, and swirl it around to coat. Pour or scoop a quarter cup of batter onto the pan. Cook three pancakes at a time. Once you see tiny bubbles start to form, flip the pancakes and continue cooking for 1 minute or until brown. Place the pancakes in the oven to keep warm.

Once all of the pancakes are cooked, wipe the frying pan clean. The temp of the burner should still be set to medium high from the pancakes.

Place 2 tbsp of butter into the pan and heat until it begins to bubble. Stir in the brown sugar. Add the vanilla and the milk slowly. The sugar will pop and sizzle. Stir until you have a nice thin caramel. Add the sliced bananas and walnuts and coat with the caramel sauce. Continue cooking for a few minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly and the bananas are soft.

Top the pancakes with the bananas foster, and serve warm.
