Bananas with Rice

Bananas stewed or baked may be served with rice sweetened or plain boiled, the rice heaped in the centre with a border of the fruit.

BANANA FRITTERS (In Halves) Let bananas stand for an hour in a deep dish with lemon juice and sugar sprinkled over them, also the grated rind of an orange if convenient. Then cut bananas in half and dip each piece in batter (see Fritter Batter; Introductory Recipes). When brown drain and serve with sugar (powdered) sprinkled over them. BANANA FRITTERS (Crushed) OR PANCAKES Crush pulp of six bananas and to this add the beaten yolks of two eggs, a little salt, a tablespoon each of butter and sugar, one and a half cups of flour, and small teaspoon of baking-powder. Add beaten whites of eggs last and drop from spoon into frying kettle. Serve as above. For pancakes make a thinner batter, putting fruit through sieve and cook as for the regular pancake.
