Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups (mashed) Ripe papaya
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cups (for frying) Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons (for garnish) Powdered sugar
Instructions
Peel the papaya, remove seeds, and mash the flesh in a bowl until smooth. Measure out 2 cups.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Add the mashed papaya, milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until a thick batter forms. Avoid overmixing.
In a deep skillet or saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
Using a tablespoon, carefully drop small scoops of batter into the hot oil, frying 4-5 fritters at a time. Do not overcrowd the pan.
Fry the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Repeat the frying process until all the batter is used.
Let the fritters cool slightly, then dust them with powdered sugar before serving.
Serve warm, and enjoy your tropical papaya fritters!
