4 1" thick slices sour dough bread, cut from an oval loaf
2 lg. bananas 8 oz. each peeled, halved lengthwise, then crosswise
2 lg. eggs
1/2 c. milk
1 tsp. vanilla
2 tbsp. butter
2 tbsp. vegetable oil
1/3 c. sugar with 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
Whipped butter
Maple syrup

Cut a 2-3 inch pocket in 1 side of each bread slice. Carefully stuff packets with 2 pieces of banana. Beat eggs, milk and vanilla in a shallow dish.

In a large skillet melt butter and oil over medium heat. Dip both sides of bread into egg mixture. (Don't let bread get too soggy.) Fry about 2 minutes each side until lightly browned. Drain on paper towels on a wire rack. Serve hot, sprinkled with the cinnamon sugar mixture and butter and syrup on the side. 4 servings.
