Notes
Recipe from Dinner for Two by Julie Wampler
If you use two separate skillets, you can basically make the topping and the pancakes at the same time and get dinner (or breakfast) on the table in less than twenty minutes. Just get your banana topping started first and let it cook while you then prepare and cook the pancakes.
