Banana Pancakes With Maple Praline Sauce

1 cup self rising flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 medium size bananas
1 egg
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1-1/4 cups buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla

In a medium size bowl, whisk together flour and sugar; set aside.
In another bowl mash the bananas with a fork, leaving a few bits
and pieces. Whisk in the egg and then add butter, buttermilk and
vanilla. Pour into flour mixture and stir until well mixed. Pour about
1/3 cup batter onto a hot nonstick skillet or griddle. Turn over and
cook until light brown on both sides. This makes about 9 pancakes,
serve with Maple Praline Sauce and vanilla ice-cream.
