SOUTHERN BANANA DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, combine the sugar and water. Add the butter and place in the oven to melt the butter.
• Meanwhile, place the flour in a mixing bowl. Use two knives or a pastry blender to cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. With a fork, stir in just enough milk or buttermilk until the dough leaves the side of the bowl.
• Turn dough onto lightly floured surface and knead 2 or 3 times, then use a rolling pin to roll out to 1/4-inch thickness. Use a 3-inch cutter to cut 24 rounds. Place a piece of banana in the center of each biscuit, then pull the dough around the banana and pinch the ends to seal on top.
• When the butter is melted, remove the pan from the oven and stir until the sugar completely dissolves.
• Place the banana dumplings, sealed side down, in the syrup. Sprinkle with a little sugar and return to the oven.
• Bake until golden brown, 50 to 60 minutes.

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!
