Banana and Pecan Pancakes With Maple Butter
"I found this recipe at Food Network. It's a Tyler Florence recipe. My family really liked these pancakes and thought they were so good. This recipe easily cuts in half. When I made these the first time I used buttermilk and this last time I was out but had heavy cream that needed to be used up so used that without a problem. I used one whole egg and 2 yolks when I cut the recipe in half as I needed to use up my yolks. I've used sugar in the past but recently I subbed Splenda sugar blend. The first time I made these pancakes I used finely chopped walnuts instead of pecans and the next time I used pecans. My family perfers the pancakes made with walnuts. This last batch of pancakes I made that I cut in half I added a scoop of protein powder with no problems. As for the Maple Butter I've never been able to get the honey to mix in completely. The first time I made the Maple Butter I cut the recipe in half, melted the butter, then added my maple syrup and honey mixed them together then I placed it in the freezer for the time it took me to make my pancakes and it turned out great as I never melted the butter. The next time I made the but I again cut the recipe in half and melted my butter, but this time I used sugar free Log Cabin syrup, and Imitation honey. Either way this butter tastes great! Note: the honey does tend to separate from the butter even as it sits in the refrigerator so it needs to be mixed before using. I plan to try to whip all the butter mix together next time with my hand mixer to see if this helps."

- Ready In:
- 30mins
- Ingredients:
- 16
- Serves:
-
6
ingredients
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 pinch salt
- 4 tablespoons sugar
- 1⁄2 cup pecans, toasted and finely ground (not chopped)
- 1⁄4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 bananas, peeled and sliced in 1/4-inch circles
- confectioners' sugar, to garnish
- candied pecans, to garnish
-
Maple Butter
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1⁄4 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons honey
directions
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
- In a large mixing bowl whisk the buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla together so they are well combined. In a separate bowl mix the flour, baking powder, soda, salt, and sugar. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry and stir with a spoon to get rid of the lumps. Fold in the pecans, most of the melted butter and whisk until batter is smooth. Heat a griddle or skillet over medium low heat and swirl around a little melted butter to keep the pancakes from sticking. Using a ladle pour the batter into the pan, see Cook's note*.
- Cook the pancakes on 1 side until they are set and then lightly press the bananas into the batter. When small bubbles appear on the uncooked surface, flip the pancakes and cook until golden on both sides, about 8 minutes. Transfer pancakes to a warming plate in the oven while you make the rest.
- To serve, slice the maple-honey butter, layer it between the stack of pancakes and place in the oven to melt for 1 1/2 minutes. Sprinkle with confectioner's sugar and candied pecans.
- *Cook's note: The trick to perfect round pancakes is pouring all the batter in the same spot and letting it roll out to a complete circle.
-
Maple Butter:
- 1 piece parchment or greaseproof paper.
- In a mixing bowl, using a spatula mash the butter with the maple syrup and honey until well blended. Roll it up in the paper, like a tube and twist the ends. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Now I post all recipes I've tried or would like to try. I'm actually making it my goal to try almost all the recipes I've posted as soon as I can. I love food and I love to eat and try different recipes. My favorite course is dessert. I love sweets! This leads me to that I did have Gastric Bypass surgery on July 25th 2008. On that note I love baking and cooking a priceless gift passed down from my grammy who I dearly loved and miss deeply. My grammy passed away 1/15/07. She was a wonderful cook and baker and taught me many things and the most valueable things was how to be a wonderful cook and baker like her. I really enjoy searching for new recipes especially here on Zaar. I'm always finding and adding to my cookbook new and exciting recipes. I also enjoy posting recipes here on Zaar as well. I really love collecting different cookbooks. I have over a 100 and growing! I collect mostly Taste Of Home & community cookbooks. The minute I get a cookbook home I sit down and I read my cookbooks from front to back like novels. I work for the Elmira City School District and YWCA. I'm raising my 8 yrs old newphew. I'm a part time college student studing Early Childhood Education, but taking time off and hoping to return soon. I live in Elmira, New York where famous writer Mark Twain did some of his writing and he once lived. I have 1 cats Samantha and 1 dog our newest member MOO MOO (my nieces dog) who are my children as I do not have any human children of my own. I lost four of my very dear children (kitty's) Callie June 2007, Miss Kitty in March 2010, my dog Angel in December 2010, and my other cat Chase in September 2011. I'm recently married on August 12th 2010. I love spending time with my niece 9 yrs old and my newphews 7 & 8 yrs old. I enjoy couponing and trading coupons. I love the internet as there's so much to look at online even though you know where I spend most of my time! I enjoy going to yard sales and estate sales every spring - fall. I love gardening and have many different pretty flowers.</p>
