Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 tsp baking pwdr
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 c. buttermilk
  • 6 Tbsp. unsalted butter melted, cooled
  • 2 lrg Large eggs lightly beaten
  • 2 Tbsp. Brown Sugar Butter (see below)
  • 4 x ripe bananas sliced 1/4" thick
  • 2 c. Candied Nuts (see below)
  • 2 Tbsp. Grand Marnier
  • 1/2 c. melted bittersweet chocolate - (3 ounce) preferably Valrhona Confectioners' sugar for dusting Vegetable oil cooking spray
  • 1/2 c. unsalted butter room temperature
  • 1/2 c. light brown sugar plus
  • 2 Tbsp. light brown sugar
  • 1 tsp heavy cream
  • 2/3 c. walnuts
  • 2/3 c. hazelnuts blanched
  • 2/3 c. macadamia nuts
  • 2 1/2 c. pure maple syrup
  • 3 c. canola oil

Directions

  1. For the Brown Sugar Butter: In a small bowl, combine butter and brown sugar till light and fluffy. Add in cream, and whisk till creamy and well combined. (Makes 3/4 c.)
  2. For the Candied Nuts: Combine nuts and maple syrup in small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, and continue to cook till syrup begins to coat nuts, about 30 min. In a medium saucepan, heat canola oil to 350 degrees. Strain nuts to remove any excess syrup. Transfer to a baking sheet to cold. Fry nuts till crispy and any excess caramel is removed. Remove to a baking sheet lined with a Silpat (a French nonstick baking mat). Let cold. (Makes 2 c.)
  3. Heat a Belgian-style waffle iron. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking pwdr, baking soda, and salt. Stir in buttermilk, melted butter, and Large eggs till smooth. The batter will be thick.
  4. Spray waffle iron with cooking spray. Ladle about 1/4 c. batter into each section of the waffle grid; spread batter almost to the edges. Close lid; bake 3 min, till no steam emerges from waffle iron.
  5. Transfer cooked waffles to a baking sheet; place in an oven set to low heat, about 200 degrees, while using the remaining batter.
  6. Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, heat 2 Tbsp. brown-sugar butter. Add in bananas, and saute/fry till softened and golden, 1 to 1-1/2 min. Add in nuts. Remove skillet from heat, carefully add in Grand Marnier, and ignite. Allow alcohol to burn off. Continue to saute/fry till the bananas and nuts are well coated.
  7. Split waffles in half. Place one half on plate. Spoon one-quarter of banana mix over waffle. Top with remaining waffle. Spoon another one-quarter of the banana mix over waffle. Dust with confectioners' sugar and half of the chocolate. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
  8. This recipe yields 2 servings.
