Banana Fritters

Peel and cut into halves (if large) the bananas and soak in a mixture of rum and sugar. Then take out and dip them into a thin batter, plunge into a fryingpan of boiling lard, and fry to a light brown. Then take out, drain, drop into powdered sugar, and serve with sweet sauce or syrup poured over them.
