Ingredients

• 2 medium Ripe plantains
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 1.25 cups Milk
• 1 Eggs
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons Butter (melted)
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Dark rum
• 2 tablespoons Cooking oil or butter (for greasing the pan)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and mash the ripe plantains in a large mixing bowl until smooth.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, salt, and ground cinnamon. Mix well.

Step 3

Add the milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter to the mashed plantains and stir until fully combined.

Step 4

Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.

Step 5

Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking oil or butter.

Step 6

Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.

Step 7

Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and keep warm.

Step 8

To make the rum sauce, melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.

Step 9

Add the brown sugar and stir until it dissolves completely and the mixture becomes smooth, about 2 minutes.

Step 10

Stir in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.

Step 11

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the dark rum. Let the sauce cool slightly.

Step 12

Serve the plantain pancakes warm, drizzled generously with the rum sauce. Enjoy!
