Ingredients

PANCAKES:
1 cup All-purpose flour
1/4 cup Confectioners' sugar
1 cup Milk
2 Eggs
3 tbsp Butter, melted
1 tsp Vanilla extract
1/4 tsp Salt
FILLING:
1/4 cup Butter
1/4 cup Packed brown sugar
1/4 tsp Ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp Ground nutmeg
1/4 cup Light cream
5 To 6 firm bananas, halved lengthwise
Whipped cream and additional cinnamon, optional

Preparation

Sift flour and confectioners' sugar into a mixing bowl. Add milk, eggs, butter, vanilla, and salt; beat until smooth. Heat a lightly greased 6-in. skillet; add about 3 tablespoons batter, spreading to almost cover bottom of skillet. Cook until lightly browned; turn and brown the other side. Remove to a wire rack. Repeat with remaining batter (makes 10-12 pancakes), greasing skillet as needed.

For filling, melt butter in a large skillet. Stir in brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir in cream and cook until slightly thickened. Add half of the bananas at a time to skillet; heat for 2-3 minutes, spooning sauce over them. Remove from the heat. Roll a pancake around each banana half and place on a serving platter. Spoon sauce over pancakes. Top with whipped cream and a dash of cinnamon, if desired.
