BREADS & DESSERTS: BANANA NUT PANCAKE TOPPING

1. Cut bananas into 1/2" thick slices. Slightly under ripe bananas will hold up best.


2. Heat butter in a large frying pan. Fry banana slices for 1 to 2 minutes on each side.


3. Add pecan halves and brown sugar to pan with fried bananas. Stir in orange juice. Gently stir mixture over medium heat until sugar has melted and mixture is hot.


4. Serve immediately over prepared pancakes. About 1/2 cup of mixture per stack of pancakes. Use additional syrup of your choice, if you prefer.
