Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup vanilla wafer crumbs
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 ripe banana mashed
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • Vegetable oil or cooking spray

Vanilla Pudding Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • pinch of salt
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 cup half and half
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 banana thinly sliced
  • 1 cup whipped cream either homemade or store bought
  • 1/2 cup crushed vanilla wafers

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, combine flour, vanilla wafer crumbs, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • In another bowl, combine egg, melted butter, mashed banana, vanilla extract, and milk. Add to bowl with dried ingredients and mix just until combined.
  • Heat a griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Coat with Vegetable oil or cooking spray. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake and cook until set on one side, flip, and continue to cook until set all the way through. Keep warm.
  • For Pudding Syrup, in a small saucepan combine cornstarch, 1/2 cup sugar, and a pinch of salt. Whisk in 2 egg yolks, 1/2 and 1/2, and 1 cup milk. Heat slowly, whisking constantly. Boil for 1 minute. Stir in vanilla and remove from heat.
  • Add banana slices to Pudding Syrup.
  • To serve, stack pancakes, layering a small amount of pudding syrup between pancakes. Top with whipped cream, more Pudding Syrup, and vanilla wafer crumbs.

Notes

To keep pancakes warm, place them in a 200 degree oven while you make the sauce.
To make the vanilla wafer crumbs you can either process them in a food processor or place them in a plastic bag and crush them with something heavy.
