Fried Overripe plantain tastes delicious, However it's a great idea to spice up your breakfast or your Lunch with something new and exciting - the plan-cake made entirely from overripe plantain

Is one way to turn the ordinary plantain to an extraordinary snack that your family can enjoy.

THE INGREDIENTS NEEDED(For 6 medium plan-cake):
1. 1 overripe plantain

3. 3 tablespoons plain flour (all purpose flour)
4. Cool water
5. ½ teaspoon salt

7. 2 tablespoons evaporated milk (Peak Milk)
8. Vegetable oil (for frying)

HOW TO MAKE IT
1. Break the egg into a bowl, beat and set aside.

2. Peel the overripe plantain and mash with a fork till a good blend is achieved.

3. Add cool water to the mashed plantain bit by bit and mix on each occasion till you get a medium consistency.

4. Pass the medium consistency blend through a sieve into the egg. Mix very well.

5. Pour the flour into the mixture and Mix thoroughly.

6. Add salt, cayenne pepper and evaporated milk and stir very well(All optional).

Voila! It is ready to be fried.

8. When hot, pour a small amount of batter into the pan.

9. Keep an eye on it and once you see the edge of the plan-cake caking, flip it to fry the other side too.

10. It is ready when both sides are light brown. They should look like the Plantain Mosas in the image below.
