Step 1: Stir together first 4 ingredients in a large bowl. Whisk together buttermilk and next 5 ingredients in another bowl. Gradually stir buttermilk mixture into flour mixture just until dry ingredients are moistened. DO NOT OVERMIX - BATTER SHOULD STILL BE LUMPY! Fold in toasted pecans.
Step 2: Pour about 1/4 cup batter for each pancake onto a hot buttered griddle or large nonstick skillet. Cook 3 to 4 minutes or until tops are covered with bubbles and edges look dry and cooked. Turn and cook 3 to 4 minutes or until done. Place in a single layer on a baking sheet, and keep warm in a 200° oven up to 30 minutes.
Step 3: While pancakes are warm in the oven, make the Cream Cheese Anglaise: Process half-and-half, cream cheese, sugar, egg yolks, cornstarch, and salt in a blender until smooth. Bring mixture to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisking constantly. Boil, whisking constantly, 1 minute. Remove from heat, and whisk in butter and vanilla. Cannot be made ahead - use immediately.
Step 4: Serve pancakes with the Cream Cheese Anglaise. Garnish with sliced banana, for a nice look.
