For the Buttermilk Waffles

2 cups 00 bread flour

1 tbs Baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp Celtic sea salt

1 1/2 cups Buttermilk

2 eggs Large eggs

1/2 cups unsalted butter, melted

1 tsp Watkins vanilla extract

For the Bourbon Bananas Foster

2 bananas ripe bananas

1/4 cups Unsalted butter

1/2 cups Brown sugar

1 tsp Cinnamon

1/4 cups bourbon

4 scoops vanilla ice cream

Method

For the Buttermilk Waffles

Prepare the Waffle Batter

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Mix Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, combine the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth.

Combine Mixtures

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Preheat Waffle Iron

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Cook the Waffles

Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the preheated waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.

For the Bourbon Bananas Foster

Slice the Bananas

Peel the ripe bananas and slice them into diagonal pieces, about 1/2 inch thick.

Make the Caramel Sauce

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the brown sugar and cinnamon, stirring until the mixture is bubbly and the sugar has dissolved.

Add the Bananas

Gently add the sliced bananas to the skillet, cooking for about 2-3 minutes until the bananas are softened and coated in the caramel sauce.

Flambé with Bourbon

Carefully add the bourbon to the skillet. If desired, you can flambé the bourbon by igniting it with a long lighter. Allow the flame to extinguish as the alcohol burns off, which will take about 30 seconds.

Assemble the Dish

Place a buttermilk waffle on a plate, top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and spoon the bourbon caramelized bananas over the top.
