Rumor has it this is a recipe everyone who was a kid in 1980s Sweden will recognize.   I laughed when I saw the ingredients but as it was recommended I had to try it. Back then it was served on white rice with shredded iceberg lettuce and cucumbers.  I updated it slightly. It also called for Heinz chile sauce which I did not have access to so I went with a green taco sauce I had in my cupboard. It is super easy, just assemble the ingredients and cook it. Here it goes.  But seriously, you will find yourself reaching for seconds! In a 9x13 baking dish, arrange/spread evenly/layer: about 2 c cooked cubed/bite-size pieced chicken 2-3 large bananas split lengthwise and cut into chunks (each piece is a long 1/8 of banana or so) 1 1/4 c heavy cream WHIPPED a generous 1/3 c red or green chile or taco sauce as mild or hot as you prefer Bake at 435 degrees for 30-45 minutes, until surface is golden brown, caramelized Let casserole REST! AT LEAST 10 minutes, hot bananas burn! Sp

These are the family favorite now.  They are so tasty and actually filling. I have seen a few modern versions but this one comes from a 1964 Osterizer blender pamphlet and as the quickest version, it wins. Beat together with stick blender until smooth- 2 eggs 1/3 c cottage cheese 3/4 c sour cream Then add and mix lightly- 1/2 t baking soda 1/2 t salt 1/2 c SIFTED flour Let batter rest while griddle warms up. Only pour the batter onto the griddle when it is sizzling hot. Serve with sliced apples, bananas or berries and syrup, agave or just butter.

This is the winning recipe from the recipe experiments.  The baking powder makes the difference in crispiness for me.  It is for traditionally heart-shaped waffles but it will work with American squares.  It's the flavor you want! Beat together until smooth: 1 1/4 c unsifted all-purpose flour 3/4 c water Stir in: 1/4 c heavy cream 2 T sugar 1 1/2 t vanilla 2 1/4 t baking powder 1/8 t salt Separately, beat until stiff: 1 c heavy cream   (beat more if serving whipped cream as topping) Fold into the combined batter. Heat your waffle iron on medium-low until water drops sizzle. Pour batter onto hot iron and let bake until golden. Served traditionally with cream and fresh berries. Tastes great with sour cream & frozen berries, nutella and bananas, etc.
