3 Firm Plantains
3 TBSP Butter
1 TBSP Sugar
1 tsp Cinnamon
Cooking Oil
Peel Plantains and slice sideways into three or four lenghtwise strips each.
In a pan with about 1/2 inch of hot oil, fry plantains for three to four minutes per side, or until golden brown.
Remove plantains to a paper towel covered plate.
Put another paper towel on top and then another plate on top.
Pound down on the top plate to smash the plantains to about half their thickness.
Add Butter, Sugar, and Cinnamon to the hot oil in the pan and refry the plantains about one minute per side.
Drain on paper towels and serve.
