  1. 1

    Place cut bananas aside and melt 1 stick of butter, set the other stick aside in case you need more when cooking, if you use a lot when dredging the bananas then you will need to melt before starting to fry.

  2. 2

    Once butter is melted start warming your skillet on medium high, watch closely as you will only want to slightly brown when cooking so it wont take long.

  3. 3

    While skillet is heating up please take your bananas and start buttering both sides of each slice very well.

  4. 4

    After all slices are done add butter in the skillet (enough to coat the bottom well). Then start placing slices in the skillet, when you have a skillet full take brown sugar and start adding, no measurement is needed as you just cover them.

  5. 5

    After you coat a side with brown sugar on the first coat flip them over and coat the next side and let them sit for about one minute.

  6. 6

    When bananas are golden and slightly brown down the center they are done. Remove from skillet and place on plate.

  7. 7

    Add whip cream to top and serve hot. Then repeat until you finish.
