Heat a large skillet over medium heat, then add 1 cube of cold butter
When the butter starts to melt add the plantains - be sure to not crowd the pan
Add another cube of butter, and let the plantains fry in the butter for about 3 minutes, or until they are golden
When the plantains are golden, flip them using a pair of tongs so they can fry on the other side and add another cube of cold butter and fry
Add the last bit of butter and let the plantains fry until they are golden and nicely caramelized
When the plantains are golden, remove them from the pan using a pair of tongs, and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to cool
