Caramel Banana Pancakes


Caramel Banana Pancakes ....did I just say caramel banana pancakes??? Oh yes, yes I did...I had them this weekend at IHOP and couldn't rest until I had made them.  So, who wants to be my best friend?  I have some to share!!  oh, sweet mother of sweetness.
Make the caramel sauce and pudding ahead of time…but they do not need to be cooled.  For each serving cook two pancakes.  Put two tablespoons of vanilla pudding between the pancakes.  Add a tablespoon of caramel sauce if you are a wimp, and two tablespoons if you appreciate sweet, buttery caramel sauce, to the pancake.  Put half of the caramel sauce on the top pancake, slice a half (or more) of a banana on top of the caramel sauce and then the rest of the caramel sauce drizzled over the bananas.  Add a dollop of reddi whip (if you have any) to make it fancier and fun.  Then BANG!!  You are a pancake rockstar!!!!!

Caramel Sauce Recipe

Ingredients

·         1 cup sugar

·         6 Tbsp butter

·         1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

Method

1 First, before you begin, make sure you have everything ready to go - the cream and the butter next to the pan, ready to put in. Making caramel is a fast process that cannot wait for hunting around for ingredients. If you don't work fast, the sugar will burn. Safety first - make sure there are no children under foot and you may want to wear oven mitts; the caramelized sugar will be much hotter than boiling water.

2 Heat sugar on moderately high heat in a heavy-bottomed 2-quart or 3-quart saucepan. As the sugar begins to melt, stir vigorously with a whisk or wooden spoon. As soon as the sugar comes to a boil, stop stirring. You can swirl the pan a bit if you want, from this point on. Note that this recipe works best if you are using a thick-bottomed pan. If you find that you end up burning some of the sugar before the rest of it is melted, the
