Pani Keke Samoa (Samoan Pancake)

Dave got this recipe from a co-worker. They are really good, but a bit on the unhealthy side due to the fact that they are fried...we usually save them for special occasions like Christmas morning.

Makes about 30 pancakes

2 ripe bananas
3 1/2 c flour
1 1/4 c sugar
2 t baking powder
1 t vanilla
1 1/2 c coconut milk (can substitute water or milk)

3 1/2 c oil for frying

Mash bananas. Mix dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Fold in the mashed bananas (don't use a mixer). Add the liquid a little at a time to make folding easier. Heat oil on medium heat. Make golf ball sized balls and place in the oil (coating a spoon with oil helps keep the batter from sticking). When the batter is brown turn the cake over. Remove from oil when entire ball is nicely browned. If the cake pops up to the top immediately the oil is hot enough, if it browns too fast the oil is too hot. Eat once the cake cools enough to handle with bare hands.
