FRENCH BANANA PANCAKES

From the Kitchen of Some French-Polish Dude

Pancakes:
1 c. all-purpose flour
� c. confectioners� sugar
1 c. milk
2 eggs 
3 T. butter or margarine, melted
1 tsp. vanilla extract
� tsp. salt

Filling:
� c. butter or margarine
� c. packed brown sugar
� tsp. ground cinnamon
� tsp. ground nutmeg
� c. light cream
5 to 6 firm bananas, halved lengthwise

Whipped cream and additional cinnamon, optional

Sift flour and confectioners� sugar into a mixing bowl.  Add milk, eggs, butter, vanilla and salt; beat until smooth.  Heat a lightly greased 6-inch skillet; add about 3 T. 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. 

Yield:  5-6 servings
