Fluffy Banana Pancakes with Caramel Pecan Sauce and Ricotta Cream image

Everyone loves pancakes. In this recipe, fluffy pancakes combine beautifully with bananas, pecans and caramel sauce, and are served with a delicious ricotta cream. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or after a light meal. Even better, most components can be prepared well ahead of time. The sliced bananas can be stirred through the batter just prior to cooking, or arranged over the top of each individual pancake as it cooks. If serving as a dessert, rum or brandy can be added to the caramel pecan sauce if you wish.

1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence

  • Microwave on high for 2 minutes, until butter melts.
  • Lightly beat yolks, then combine with the buttermilk and butter mixture, whisking to incorporate.
  • Then add vanilla essence and caster sugar (superfine sugar) and stir until sugar is dissolved.

  • Batter can be prepared to this stage, the night before.

Secret Recipe Tips - Be sure to let the pecans and bananas show for a nice presentation. For a more intense flavor, use a banana-flavored pudding in place of vanilla. For a completely different variation, add chocolate chips and serve with chocolate or fudge topping. Source: "America's Secret Recipes" by Ron Douglas (Coming Soon)

Yield 8 pancakes 4-8 people

Number Of Ingredients 14

for banana filling
4 ripe but still firm bananas - about 700g (halved lengthwise)
2 tsp vanilla sugar
15g unsalted butter
for chocolate sauce
100g dark chocolate bar
25g unsalted butter
3 tbs milk
for the pancakes
2 cups self rising flour
2½ cups milk
3 eggs
olive oil to brush the frying pan
vanilla ice cream to serve

Steps:

  • Beat eggs lightly, stir in milk and flour, mix well with a whisk. Pour about 125ml of pancake mixture on hot, brushed with oil frying pan.

In meantime in a small sauce pan place chocolate bar, milk and butter and heat over low fire until melted, leave aside. On the same frying pan you were frying pancakes melt the butter, place halved bananas, sprinkle them with vanilla sugar and fry on both sides until they are starting to get brown. Place half of fried banana in each pancake and roll them. Place on the plates with some vanilla ice cream on a side. Pour over chocolate sauce and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • To achieve fluffy pancakes, make sure to whisk the egg whites separately until stiff peaks form and then gently fold them into the batter.
  • For a richer flavor, use buttermilk instead of regular milk. You can also add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or almond extract to the batter.
  • If you don't have mashed bananas, you can use ripe bananas that have been blended or processed in a food processor.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat to prevent them from burning. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, whipped cream, or fresh fruit.
