How to Make Banana Rum Pancakes

  7. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake.
  8. Arrange 6 banana slices evenly on top of each pancake.

  12. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
