These are a little different from the other fried bananas as these are done with a crumb coating instead of a batter. A snack, side dish or dessert, you decide. From a 1956 banana pamphlet Ingredients:
1 1/2 teaspoons salt |
1 egg, slightly beaten (or 1/4 cup evaporated milk) |
4 firm bananas (yellow or slightly green tipped) |
1/2 cup corn flake crumbs (finely crushed or use bread or cracker crumbs or corn meal, i mixed a combo of what was in the cupbo) |
oil (for frying) |
Directions:
1. To deep fry, have kettle 1/2 to 2/3 full of oil.
2. To shallow fry, have 1 inch oil in frying pan.
3. I use my Fry daddy.
4. Heat oil to 375 degrees or until a 1 inch cube od bread browns in about 40 seconds.
5. Add salt to egg (or milk).
6. Peel bananas and slice crosswise into 1 inch thick pieces.
7. Dip each piece into egg (or milk).
8. Drain.
9. Roll in crumbs.
10. Fry in hot oil 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or until brown and tender.
