Instructions:
-
Grate orange: Start by grating the orange to produce finely grated rind. This will infuse your sauce with a burst of citrusy aroma and flavor.
-
Squeeze juice: Next, squeeze the juice from the orange and half a lemon. The combination of orange and lemon juice adds a refreshing tanginess to the sauce.
-
Melt butter: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until it becomes smooth and golden.
-
Add bananas: Once the butter is melted, add the ripe bananas to the saucepan. The bananas will soften as they cook, adding natural sweetness and creamy texture to the sauce.
-
Simmer: Allow the bananas to simmer in the butter for a few minutes until they are soft and tender. This will help release their natural juices and flavors.
-
Add remaining ingredients: Stir in the grated orange rind, freshly squeezed orange and lemon juice, and cinnamon sticks. These ingredients will enhance the tropical and citrus notes of the sauce.
-
Sweeten with honey: Drizzle in the honey and stir well to combine. The honey adds a touch of sweetness, balancing out the tartness of the citrus and complementing the flavor of the bananas.
-
Serve hot: Once all the ingredients are combined and the sauce is heated through, remove the cinnamon sticks and serve the Banana Lemon Sauce hot over your favorite pancakes.
-
Enjoy: Indulge in the luscious flavors of this homemade sauce as it cascades over your pancakes, filling each bite with tropical sweetness and citrusy zest.
This Banana Lemon Sauce is not only perfect for pancakes but can also be enjoyed on waffles, French toast, ice cream, or as a topping for yogurt. Its vibrant flavors will brighten up any breakfast or dessert spread, making it a versatile and irresistible addition to your recipe collection.
