Plantain Pancakes

Ingredients

 * 3 very ripe plantains
 * 3 tbsp. flour
 * 4 tbsp. melted butter
 * 2/3 cup cooked beans
 * 2/3 cup shortening or lard

Directions

 * 1) Boil and mash plantains; add flour and butter and mix thoroughly.
 * 2) Fry the beans in 1 tbsp. shortening for about 5 minutes.
 * 3) Heat remaining shortening in another frying pan, add plantain mixture, 1 tbsp. at a time, and spread with a fork so that it will take the shape of a small pancake.
