Ingredients
For the banana flip pancakes
- 2 cups flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 3/4 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon butter melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Filling
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup butter room temperature
- 3/4 cup butter-flavored shortening
- 3/4 cup milk
- 2 teaspoon banana extract
- powdered sugar optional
Instructions
For the pancake
- Stir together cake mix and dry pudding mix.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. It's okay if there are a few lumps; overmixing can make the pancakes tough.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. If needed, lightly grease the surface with butter or cooking spray.
- Pour about 1/2 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon to spread the batter into a circular shape if necessary.
- Cook the pancakes until you see bubbles forming on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Once cooked, transfer the pancakes to a plate and keep them warm. You can cover them with a kitchen towel.
For the filling:
- In a medium bowl, sift together sugar and flour, then set aside.
- Cream the butter and shortening together until thoroughly combined, then add the sugar mixture.
- Using an electric mixer, beat in the milk and banana extract until you achieve a smooth consistency.
- Once the cake has cooled, carefully invert one layer onto a serving tray or a sturdy piece of cardboard.
For assembly:
- Spread the prepared filling evenly over each pancake, then carefully flip them over. Alternatively, you can spread the filling on one pancake, top it with another, and then cut the stack into two portions.
- Finish by garnishing with a dusting of powdered sugar.
- Place the assembled pancakes in the refrigerator and allow them to chill until you're ready to serve. This will help the filling set and enhance the flavors.
