Preparation

Step 1

Make waffles:
Put oven rack in middle position and put a large metal cooling rack directly on it. Preheat oven to 250 deg and preheat waffle iron.

Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.

Whisk together buttermilk, melted butter, and eggs in another bowl, then whisk into flour mixture until just combined.

Cook waffles; Keep warm in a single layer in oven.

Make topping:
While last batch is cooking, heat butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then add banana slices in 1 layer and cook until golden, about 1 minute per side. Remove from heat and add syrup to skillet.

Spoon bananas over waffles, then drizzle with warm syrup before serving.
