According to NBC sportscaster Ahmad Rashad, men and
women behave very differently in the kitchen. "When men
cook, it usually looks like a disaster area," says the
former Minnesota Viking. "And there's no rhyme or reason
to what they make. My father sometimes cooked chicken
for breakfast. And when he cooked, everything came out
six times bigger than when Mom cooked."
Rashad's father prepared banana pancakes for him when
he was a little boy, back in Tacoma, Washington. Rashad,
in turn, makes them for his 5-year-old daughter, Condola
Phylea. On Super Bowl Sunday, he promises, she'll be
starting off her day with a short stack.
In a mixing bowl, using a hand or electric mixer, beat
eggs for 2 minutes until frothy. Add flour, baking
powder, milk and oil. Stir in bananas.
On a hot griddle, pour 1/4 cup batter for each pancake.
Cook until edges become dry, about 2 minues per side.
Top with banana slices.
Drizzle with honey or maple syrup and sprinkle w/pecans.
