Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces Ripe bananas
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the ripe bananas and mash them in a bowl until smooth but slightly chunky.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
In another small bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a thick batter forms. Then, gently fold in the mashed bananas to create a uniform mixture.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. The oil should be around 350°F (175°C). Test by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and float to the top.
Using a spoon or small scoop, carefully drop dollops of the banana batter into the hot oil. Fry 4-5 fritters at a time to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Cook each fritter for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fritters from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining batter.
If desired, dust the warm fritters with powdered sugar before serving.
Serve the fritters warm as a delicious snack or dessert.
