Dip banana slices into batter with a fork. Allow excess batter to drip from the banana before placing it on the griddle.
Place coated banana medallions on the griddle or frying pan.
Cook for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side or until browned, carefully turning once. Note that the pancake batter will not firm up on the top and form indentations as it does for regular pancakes.
