List of Ingredients



• 3 large bananas, peeled (divided)
  
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted (divided)
  
• 3/4 cup (packed) golden brown sugar (divided)
  
• 1/4 cup water

• 2 cups self-rising flour
  
• 2 cups buttermilk

Instructions



1. Cut 2 bananas into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Combine 1/4 cup melted butter, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/4 cup water in heavy large skillet. Boil over medium-high heat until mixture thickens slightly, about 2 minutes. Stir in vanilla and sliced bananas. Remove syrup from heat.
   
   
2. Whisk flour and 1/4 cup sugar in large bowl. Mash remaining banana in medium bowl, then whisk in buttermilk and eggs. Stir banana mixture into dry ingredients (some lumps will remain). Mix in remaining 1/4 cup melted butter.
   
   
3. Heat griddle over medium heat; brush with additional melted butter. Working in batches, pour batter by 1/3-cupfuls onto griddle. Cook pancakes until golden, about 2 minutes per side.
