Number Of Ingredients 5

1 c all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 whole egg (well beaten)
3/4 c milk
1/4 tsp salt

Steps:

  • 1. Mix and sift the dry ingredients
  • 2. add milk gradually
  • 3. add beaten egg gradually
  • 4. using a fork, dip banana slices into batter and place in about an inch of hot oil in a cast iron skillet until browned on both sides
  • 5. Note: This batter could be used for bananas, zucchini slices, okra, or Oreo Cookies -- whatever you think might be tasty would probably be good!!
  • 6. You could also add a little sugar, vanilla, or cinnamon, or even cayenne pepper (whatever) to punch it up to your liking. Although I would probably not add sugar if I were doing vegetables, but that is just me. Also: if you add sugar you will need to be very careful with the cooking because the sugar will brown faster.
