3 very ripe plantains

3 tbs. flour

4 tbs. melted butter

2/3 cup cooked beans

2/3 cup shortening or lard

Boil, drain water and mash plantains; add flour and butter and mix thoroughly. Fry the beans in 1 tbs. shortening for about 5 minutes in medium heat. Heat remaining shortening in another frying pan, add 1 tbs. of the plantain mixture, and spread with a fork so that it will take the shape of a small pancake. Repeat to make more pancakes. Fry the pancakes for about 5 minutes, place a teaspoon of the fried beans on each and fold. Fry the stuffed pancakes, covered, 3 minutes on each side or until brown.
