Banana Buttermilk Pancakes

BANANA BUTTERMILK PANCAKES

2 eggs
1 cup flour

2 Tbsp. sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. nutmeg

Buttermilk Syrup

I got this recipe from my friend, Tammy. So yummy! It's almost like eating candy.

BUTTERMILK SYRUP

1 stick butter
2 cups sugar
1 cup buttermilk
4 tsp. corn syrup
1 tsp. vanilla (2 if imitation)
1 tsp baking soda

Boil together butter, sugar, buttermilk, and corn syrup; boil for one minutes. Remove from heat, and add vanilla and baking soda; whisk until all blended. (You may have to hold the pan over the sink after you start whisking the baking soda in as it makes the syrup really bubble big.) Serve warm over pancakes.
