The Infamous Ways of a Banana?!?!?!?!?

Ever since I was young I used to make banana fritters with my dad. These are not the ones you fry in a heaping vat of oil made with pancake mix. These originated originally from my dad. He and I used to make these when  my brother and I were young. He used to serve it with some whipped cream and now I have taken this to the next level.

What you will need
  • 1 Banana (sliced into 4's)( Try to use the freshest bananas or else they will turn out soggy)
  • 2 tsp unsalted butter
Directions
  1. Turn the heat to about medium high
  2. Put the butter into a medium sized frying pan and let it heat up nicely
  3. Wait for about 30 seconds to a minute for the butter to heat up 
  4. Place the bananas into the frying pan carefully because they will sizzle
  5. Keep flipping bananas on each side for about 2-3 minutes until desired browness is shown
  6. Enjoy your banana fritters with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or even whipped cream. You can put almost anything!!!
Now what you see here are the ones taken to the next level. I have just gotten in to plating desserts and I made these with caramel sauce (highly recommended) which you can find the recipe for online.


This is the sugar water mixture boiling 


This is the final product!!! The caramel

Voila! The final product. There are the banana fritters!
