MA'S SECRET JAMAICAN BANANA FRITTERS

Steps:

• Peel bananas and place into a large bowl. Smash them with a fork until they start to get somewhat runny. Add sugar, vanilla, milk, salt, and flour and mix until the "batter" just barely runs off of the spoon (just a little thinner than the consistency of pancake batter). If it is too thick, it will be too airy, like pancakes.
• Heat oil in a frying pan on medium heat.
• Once the oil is HOT, drop tablespoons of the batter in at a time, as if you were making mini pancakes.
• When the edges are firm, turn over and cook the opposite side. The fritters should be a medium-brown color, not light and not burnt. Drain onto paper towels and serve warm. Mmm -- .

BANANA FRITTERS A LA JACQUES PEPIN

Steps:

• Place flour, egg, and about 1/2 the water in a bowl.
• Mix with whisk for a few seconds, until the mix is smooth, and then whisk in the remaining water.
• To cook the fritters, take a large nonstick skillet and heat 1/3 cup of the oil to 400F(200C).
• Meanwhile, peel the bananas, and, holding them directly over the bowl containing the batter, cut them crosswise into 1/4" slices (let slices fall into batter).
• Make 3-4 fritters at a time - using about 1/3 cup batter for each pouring it into the hot oil.
• Spread mixture lightly as it hits the pan to create fritters about 3" in diameter.
• Cook for 3-4 minutes, turn, and cook for 3-4 minutes on other side, until lightly golden brown.
• Remove fritters with slotted spoon and place them on wire rack to drain.
• Continue to make fritters, adding oil as needed, until all batter has been used.
• Sprinkle the drained fritters generously with sugar and serve as soon as possible.

JACQUES PEPIN'S BANANA ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Peel the bananas and cut them crosswise into 1-inch slices. Arrange the slices in a single layer on a tray and put the tray in the freezer for at least 2 hours, until bananas are frozen.
• Put half the frozen bananas in a food processor with half the sour cream, half the sugar and 1 tablespoon of the rum. Pulse the machine a few times, and then process the mixture for about 20 seconds, until smooth. Transfer to a cold bowl, and process the rest of the bananas, sour cream, sugar and a second tablespoon of rum. Return the ice cream to the freezer until serving time, at least one hour.
• To serve, scoop the ice cream into six chilled glasses. Garnish each, if desired, with 1 teaspoon of rum and a sprig of mint.
