BANANA DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Peel and slice your bananas in small pieces.
• In a bowl, mix flour, milk, sugar, beaten egg, baking powder and oil as directed.
• Mix well until you get a thick mixture.
• Slide all your chopped banana pieces into this mixture.
• Take a deep frying saucepan or wok. Make sure you heat about half a cup of oil to the saucepan so the dumplings fry well.
• Keep the stove on medium to high heat.
• Using a tablespoon or wooden spoon, pick each banana piece from the bowl and pour directly into the hot oil. A little bit of the mixture will spread around the banana piece and that's good.
• Turn each dumpling after 1-2 minutes of deep frying so both sides are done well.
• As soon as the dumplings are golden brown, drain them on paper towel and serve hot with tea or coffee!
