Apple Smiles Recipe
Ingredients:
Apples
Peanut Butter
Miniature Marshmellows
Instructions:
Cut apples into wedges. Smear peanut butter on
one side of 2 wedges. Stick a few marshmellows
on the peanut butter on one of the apple wedges
and top with the other apple wedge - peanut
butter side down. When you look at this it
looks like a smile (the red part of the apple
are the lips and the marshmellows are the teeth!)
BANANA FRITTERS
Just as South and Central American countries have
their fried plantains, the Vietnamese have fried
bananas, usually sold on the streets by women in
front of their houses. The smaller and firmer the
bananas, the better. Serves 4.
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup milk
4 medium bananas
peanut oil for frying
Mix together the flour, sugar, egg, and milk to
make a smooth, paste-like batter. Leave to rest
for one hour. Peel the bananas and slice each
one in half lengthwise, then across into chunks
about three inches long. Dip the banana pieces
into the batter and shallow fry in hot oil for
a few minutes or until golden brown all over.
Drain quickly on a wire rack or paper towel,
and serve warm. If you like, serve them with
powdered sugar or honey, for extra sweetness.
