Instructions
Prepare the Pancakes

Cook the Pancakes
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake and cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown.
Make the Banana Foster Sauce

- Carefully add rum and, if safe, flame it to cook off the alcohol.
