Bananas Foster Pancakes

This recipe is a great use of overripe bananas. It also jazzes up plain pancakes.

The first time I had Bananas Foster was in New Orleans. It was a delicious, buttery, sweet addition to vanilla ice cream. Then I had it over Belgium waffles with whipped cream. It was even better than the original. So I decided to take the sauce and put it over pancakes. It turned out well so I wanted to share.
