My Escape...

Description:
Don't you hate it when you have bananas that are already too ripe? It's too icky to eat, but a waste to throw away. Anyway...I was taught this recipe by one of my best friends, Essie. It's so easy and can be fun to make. After she taught me, I experimented with putting different ingredients in too. So enjoy!!

Ingredients:
Ripe bananas - mashed
Flour
Sugar - amount depends on how ripe your bananas are. If really ripe then you may want to put less sugar
Oil to fry

Additional ingredients that I like to put sometimes:
raisins
nuts
cinnamon
vanilla extract

Directions:
1. Mix all ingredients together until it kind of resembles a paste...but make sure it's not too runny or liquidy...if it is then add some more flour.
2. Heat oil
3. Use a two spoons to spoon the mixture into the hot frying oil. Essie told me that the "traditional" method is to use your hands and drop balls of the mixture into the oil.
4. Fry till brown - don't worry if they turn dark brown. It's not burned...I think it's because of the bananas that they turn dark.
5. Drain on paper towel...
enjoy!!
