Plantain pancakes are a popular dish in many Latin American countries and are often served for breakfast or brunch. Ripe plantains are mashed and mixed with flour, milk, and other ingredients to make a thick batter that is then cooked like regular pancakes. The addition of vanilla and the rum sauce adds a unique flavor to the dish, making it a tasty and special treat. The pancakes are fluffy and moist and can be topped with whipped cream, fresh fruit, or the rum sauce for extra indulgence.

Instructions

1.Peel the ripe plantain and mash it in a bowl. Then add the flour, baking powder, milk, vanilla, and egg in the same bowl and whisk it well.
2.Heat a skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat. Add a little butter to the pan to prevent the pancakes from sticking. Pour 1/4 cup of the mixture into the hot pan for each pancake.
3.Cook the pancake until the surface is covered in small bubbles and the edges are firm. Flip the pancake and cook for an additional minute on the other side.
4.In a separate saucepan, melt the butter and then add the brown sugar and dark rum. Let it cook for a few minutes until it thickens and then remove from heat.
5.Serve the pancakes warm with the rum sauce drizzled on top.

PROS

These pancakes are a unique twist on traditional pancakes and have a sweet and savory flavor.

They are a great way to use up ripe plantains and are a healthier alternative to regular pancakes.

The rum sauce adds a delicious, tangy sweetness to the dish.

CONS

The pancakes can be a little dense, so it’s important to make sure the plantain is ripe enough when making the recipe.

The rum sauce may be too strong for some people, so it’s best to use it sparingly if you’re not a fan of alcohol.
