Banana Pancakes


Sometimes a great recipe gets overlooked or forgotten.  That was the case with these pancakes so I decided they needed a second chance.  The old picture was terrible!  I hope you can get a better feel for how yummy these can be now. My family loves these pancakes! I feel good serving these to my family because in addition to filling our bellies we get a full serving of fruit! The pancakes have a subtle banana flavor and bake up nice and puffy. My favorite way to eat these is topped with whipped cream, sliced bananas, and the Coconut Syrup Kirsti posted previously. The combination is to die for!

Banana Pancakes
from Williams Sonoma

Yield: about 8 pancakes


Ingredients:
6 TBSP unsalted butter, plus additional for greasing the pan
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 TBSP sugar
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 small ripe banana, mashed
1 cup milk
2 large eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Additional banana slices, for serving
Syrup, whipped cream, etc. for serving



Directions:
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Melt the butter in a microwave safe bowl; set aside to cool slightly. In a medium bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; whisk together to combine. In another bowl, combine the mashed banana, milk, eggs, and vanilla and whisk to blend. Add the melted butter and the banana mixture to the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix gently with a rubber spatula until just blended (the batter will be slightly lumpy).


Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Grease lightly with butter. Drop the batter in 1/3 cup portions onto a heated cooking surface. Cook until a few bubbles form in the top surface and the bottom is golden brown, about 2 minutes. Carefully flip the pancake over and cook on the remaining side until golden brown, 1-2 minutes more. Transfer finished pancakes to a plate in the warm oven while you use the remaining batter, re-greasing as needed. Serve warm with syrup, whipped cream, and sliced bananas as desired.

These are super yummy! We love the Martha Stewart buttermilk pancakes, but this was a nice change. I like subtle banana flavor, not overpowering like some I've tried.

Not Yo Mama's Banana Pudding (Re-post with a picture )

Does this dessert sound familiar to you?  I originally posted it last Summer, but didn't have a picture at the time.  I'm excited to be able to post this picture now so you can see how yummy it looks!  I first had this pudding at a BBQ last Summer.  One bite and I was hooked.  This fabulous pudding sits on top of a layer of bananas and is sandwiched between two delicious cookies. Does it get any better than that?  Banana pudding didn't used to be something I craved, but it definitely is now.  It is Heavenly!  Also, it's very easy to make.  So try it out sometime.  I bet you'll become a banana pudding fan too.

Royal Icing for Sugar Cookies

While I love my Scrumptious Sugar Cookie frosting , Royal Icing is the way to go for decorated cookies that harden enough to stack and package. It definitely takes more time and patience, but the end result is so satisfying! You can make such fun cookies without having to worry about the frosting coming off.  Royal Icing can get super hard, and while this is perfect for building Gingerbread Houses, it’s not so great when you want to actually eat the cookie. Not to worry though- adding in a little corn syrup helps the icing dry firm without being overly hard.  I also like to add in my favorite butter vanilla emulsion to make the icing extra yummy, cause at the end of the day it’s not enough to just look pretty!  There are a few different ways to make Royal Icing. My favorite method is using Meringue Powder. If you can’t find this or don’t want to buy it, you can use egg whites instead. Or, if you’re in a pinch you can make some with just powdered sugar and water. You can find some recip

Brown Butter Caramel Snickerdoodles

If you try one new cookie recipe this Fall, let it be this one!! I'm not kidding when I say that this is  one of the best cookies I've ever made.  They've already received rave reviews and comments such as, "Amazing!", and "Incredible!"  These are not your average snickerdoodle, not that I have anything against the traditional ones, they are made with browned butter and extra brown sugar for a rich caramel taste.  But wait, it also has a caramel center! And of course that classic chewy texture with a cinnamon/sugar coating.  I could eat these every single day. They are SO GOOD you guys!
