Ingredients

Topping

  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup light corn syrup
  • 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3 medium bananas, sliced

Pancakes

  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon butter or margarine, melted
  • 3/4 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened baking cocoa
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Steps

  • 1
    In 1-quart saucepan, mix all topping ingredients except bananas. Heat to boiling over medium heat, stirring occasionally; remove from heat. Gently stir in bananas until well coated; keep warm.
  • 2
    Heat griddle or skillet over medium-high heat or electric griddle to 375°F. Grease griddle with cooking spray, vegetable oil or shortening. In medium bowl, beat egg with wire whisk or hand beater until foamy. Beat in milk and butter until smooth. Stir in remaining pancake ingredients until blended.
  • 3
    For each pancake, pour scant 1/4 cup batter onto hot griddle. Cook about 1 1/2 minutes or until pancakes are puffed. Turn and cook other sides until golden brown and dry around edges. Serve pancakes with topping.

  • A pancake griddle should be very hot. To test it, flick a few drops of water on the griddle surface. The griddle is ready if the water “dances.”
  • No time to make the topping? Go ahead and slice 3 bananas into 2/3 cup warm caramel topping.
