Fried Bananas
Ingredients
4 firm ripe bananas (not sugar bananas, Cavendish-style bananas are best).
2 tablespoons butter or oil
Directions
Peel the bananas and fry in the butter or oil, turning them gently until the natural sugars caramelise and they are golden brown all over. They may be cut across in half to make shorter pieces which are easier to handle.
Serve warm.
