Brule Banana Split Pancakes

Brian Ingram, chef & owner of Hope Breakfast Bar, knows how to take pancakes to the next level.

Pancake Batter
2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 3/4 cups milk
1/4 cup butter
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 large egg

Mix well and set aside

When ready to make your pancakes, pour 1/4 – 1/3 cup scoops of batter onto a griddle or pan on medium high.

When they start to bubble and the bottom begins to brown, flip them!
