Waiting for a cook
Gabon
Bananes au four croustillantes is the small Gabonese dessert that turns up in every "cuisines of the world" collection: ripe bananas quartered, dipped in egg beaten with orange juice, rolled in breadcrumbs, fried golden, then finished for a few minutes in the oven and served hot with brown sugar and a spoon of sour cream or crème fraîche. It is one of the few sweet dishes recorded from Gabon, a country whose sweets are mostly fruit, and it is quick: twenty minutes from peel to plate.
The draft was written from 2 published sources and holds 7 ingredients and 7 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.
