Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 4 cups vegetable oil, for frying
  • Vanilla ice cream, icing sugar or maple syrup, to serve

Method

  • In a medium sized bowl whisk together bananas, eggs and milk. In another bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Pour flour mixture into banana mixture and stir to combine. The batter will be like a thick pancake batter.
  • Pour vegetable oil into a medium saucepan or skillet until it reaches 1" up the side, about 4 cups. Heat on medium-high heat. Drop heaped tablespoons of batter into oil, frying 2-3 fritters at a time. Let fry 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown. Adjust heat if fritters start to darken too quickly. Place on a paper towel lined plate and continue with remaining batter. Serve warm sprinkled with icing sugar, maple syrup or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
