Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Banana
- 1 cup Sweet corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Cornmeal
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Peel the bananas and mash them in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
Add the sweet corn kernels to the mashed bananas and mix well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
In another small bowl, beat the egg and whisk it with milk and vanilla extract.
Gradually add the wet ingredients (egg mixture) to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Fold the banana-corn mixture into the batter until evenly incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). To test, drop a small amount of batter into the oil; if it sizzles and rises to the surface, the oil is ready.
Using a tablespoon or small scoop, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook each fritter for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
Optionally, dust the Banana Corn Fritters with powdered sugar before serving.
