Waffles With Maple Glazed Bananas Recipes

Steps:

• In a large saute pan over medium heat, melt the butter with the maple syrup; stir in cinnamon, rum if using and vanilla; simmer 1 minute.
• Add the sliced bananas to the pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
• With a slotted spoon, remove the bananas from the syrup mixture and place in a serving dish.
• Sprinkle the pecans over the syrup and allow to warm and glaze.
• Pour the syrup and pecan mixture over the bananas and stir gently.

Steps:

• Make waffles:
• Put oven rack in middle position and put a large metal cooling rack directly on it. Preheat oven to 250°F and preheat waffle iron.
• Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
• Whisk together buttermilk, melted butter, and eggs in another bowl, then whisk into flour mixture until just combined.
• Brush hot waffle iron lightly with vegetable oil and pour a slightly rounded 1/2 cup of batter into each waffle mold (see cooks' note, below). Cook waffles according to manufacturer's instructions until golden and cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer as cooked to rack in oven to keep warm, keeping waffles in 1 layer to stay crisp. Make more waffles in same manner.

• While last batch is cooking, heat butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then add banana slices in 1 layer and cook until golden, about 1 minute per side. Remove from heat and add syrup to skillet.
