Banana Fritter Surprise!

I am assuming EVERYONE has either aa box of bisquick mix or a box of pancake mix somewhere in the larder! If not,your favorite pancake recipe will do just fine!
This simple sweet dessert is best prepared in advance,but finished at that "Tween" stage-you know-between a very satisfying meal and dessert.....While everyone is savoring the dinner,working through the "I'm stuffed stage and chatting amonst themselves...you can be getting the dessert!

Banana Fritter Surprise

you need:
1 deep frying pan with appx 1 cup fresh vegetable oil-heated to med-high
Note: Just before I sit down to eat dinner-I put the oil on low to "pre-heat" the oil-saves time before you start dessert)
1 banana per person (nice a frim,but fully ripe)
1 batch of pancake batter
Vanilla icecream
maple syrup

now that the oil is up to temp-peel you bananas and one at a time dip them in the pancake-batter(make sure they are completely covered in batter) the drop carefully into the heated oil-I don't put more than 2 banans at a time. Fry until just golen brown all over-remove and place on a paper towel to drain... Each batch will take 2 or 3 minutes...

When you have all the banan fritters fried- place at the bottom of each serving dish,cover with a good scoop of vanilla icecream and drizzle maple syrup on top!

Serve with a big smile on your face and that "knowing" look that a wonderful meal has been topped off with pure delight!
