On holiday mornings my job was to make a creative breakfast. This recipe comes from Hawaii and as a treat Christmas or New Year’s morning I will make a batch.
Pancakes with Macadamia Nut Sauce
Ingredients
1. c. macadamia nuts
1 T. butter
2 T. flour
1 c. whole milk
c. cream
3 T. sugar
tsp. kosher salt
2″ vanilla bean, sliced lengthwise and seeds scraped out – or 2 TSP vanilla extract
3/4 tsp. lemon juice
6 fresh bananas- preferably overripe, mashed
Pancake Mix (follow instruction and ingredients to serve four- make pancakes separately from this next recipe)
Directions
- Process the macadamia nuts in a food processor until finely ground. Spoon the nuts into a medium saucepan and fry over medium high heat for 5 min or until fragrant. Lower heat to medium and add the butter, stirring until melted. Stir in flour and cook 1 min. Slowly pour in milk and cream, constantly whisking the whole time. Scrape the seeds out of both vanilla pod halves. Add sugar, salt, vanilla seeds, and vanilla pod to the pan. Cook 5 min or until thickened, stirring constantly. Stir in lemon juice. Pour sauce through a fine strainer into a serving dish. Serve warm.
Serve over ice cream or banana pancakes
