Fried Plantains

When I was home for Easter, Mom gave me two very ripe plantains to make steamed plantains, eaten with butter and sugar. I kind of forgot the process, basically steam them in the microwave but I forgot the timing. So instead I sliced them and fried them in butter! Those are the ones in the middle. But for most of the plantains, I mashed them, added a bunch of sugar, and a little bit of flour to make a batter of sorts. Dollops were dropped into a skillet with butter, and these tasty fritters were the result! Plantains are so delicious; I wish they were more easily available!
