I believe that someone once asked what I would want to eat as my last meal. You all know I don't go into fits of hyperbole when describing food on this blog (okay, fine, maybe I do), but I have to say that I might want this dish right here to be my last breakfast with maybe a side of eggs or something.
This is Pancake Month at New York's Clinton Street Baking Company, and I specifically waited for the day they'd be serving their banana pancakes.
Banana Pancakes with Bavarian cream, toasted coconut and warm maple butter on the side
I love banana pancakes in general, but the Bavarian cream really put it over the top. These are the some of the fluffiest, lightest, most perfectly textured pancakes I've ever tasted.
By the way, Clinton Street Baking Company produces Pancake Month each February, and every few days there is a different featured pancake of the day. As this post goes up, I may be returning for some coconut pancakes with kumquat syrup and bruleed bananas. Maybe.
If you ever decide to go to Clinton Street Baking Company for brunch on the weekend, don't do it. It's not because the food isn't wonderful. It is. However, this place is tiny, there are no reservations, and the waits are infamous (sound familiar?). Don't say that I didn't warn you. Actually, you can get their regular pancakes all day, so I suggest breakfast for dinner as your m.o. for actually getting a taste of these bad boys with a reasonable wait.
Do you like pancakes? What's your favorite kind? How long would you wait for them?

Um... those look AMAZING!!! I want them now!!!
The warm maple butter sounds like just the thing. That'd be awesome on French toast and waffles. Yum. Pancakes are best when the edges are crispy and butter, and the texture is super light and fluffy.
These look UNBELIEVABLE. I am a sucker for coconut anything, and the Bavarian cream and maple butter....ooooh man.....
Wow...those look to die for! I love a good pancake myself...I'm such a little girl, but I don't think it gets any better than a chocolate chip pancake!
