Sauteed Bananas

Did I spell Sauteed right? It sure doesn't look correct.

Okay so I know this is another example of a not so appetizing picture but I just had to post this recipe and I couldn't get a good picture of the results because I was too lazy.

This is a great recipe if you are anything like me and you try not to keep sweets in the house but you do keep fruit. So when you are craving sweets you score How to Cook Everything for ideas on how to turn said fruit into dessert.

It is pretty simple, here is what you will need:
4 Bananas ripe but not too soft.

1/4 C flour

4 tablespoons of butter

2 tablespoons of sugar, plus some to pass around

Slice the bananas (does anybody else sing that song while spelling that out?) in half length wise and then again vertically so you have 4 quarters. Dredge the bananas in flour and shake off excess. Melt butter in pan over med high heat until the foam subsides. Cook the bananas until golden brown, turning often. The recipe says it will take 10 minutes but it took my bananas about 5 so make sure you keep an eye on them. Sprinkle with sugar and cook 1 more minute. Remove bananas from the pan and sprinkle with extra sugar.

This is something worth trying for several reasons:

-if you buy bananas you probably already have all the ingredients on hand

-the crunchiness of the sugar and the softness of the banana are so delicious

-counts as a fruit, right?
