BANANA PECAN BUTTERMILK PANCAKES

Steps:

Working in batches, drop 1/4 cup measures of batter onto griddle to form pancakes and cook until bubbles appear on surface and undersides are golden brown, about 1 minute. Flip pancakes with a metal spatula and cook until undersides are golden brown and pancakes are cooked through, about 1 minute.

• Heat a large skillet (I use non-stick) over medium heat. Brush the the skillet with butter; keep the surface buttered well throughout cooking to prevent the bananas from sticking. Pour 1/4 C of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Lay about 5 banana slices onto each onto each pancake and cook until small bubbles form and pop on the surface and the bottom is golden brown. Flip the pancakes and cook until golden brown, 6-8 minutes.

BANANA AND PECAN PANCAKES WITH MAPLE BUTTER (TYLER'S ULTIMATE)

Steps:

• 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 lumumps. 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
