Fried bananas

• 4 bananas, medium-sized ones which are fairly ripe
• 90 g (3 oz) rice flour

Mix the flour, butter, santen and salt into a smooth batter. Cut the bananas lengthwise down the middle, then cut each piece across into two. Coat well with the batter and fry in clarified butter until golden brown.

The bananas can also be cut into round slices, which are fried in the same way, 4 or 5 at a time. One banana is enough for two helpings.
