Fritter Batter
Frying
Serving (Optional)
Method
Prepare the Batter
- 1
Mash the Bananas
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth, leaving some small chunks for texture.
- 2
Mix Dry Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
- 3
Combine Ingredients
Add the dry ingredients to the mashed bananas. Pour in the milk and vanilla extract, and mix until just combined. Do not overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
Fry the Fritters
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. To check if the oil is ready, drop a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and float to the top.
- 5
Fry the Fritters
Using a spoon, drop tablespoons of the batter into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
- 6
Drain the Fritters
Once golden brown, remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve
- 7
Serve Warm
Serve the fritters warm, optionally with scoops of vanilla ice cream or sorbet on the side.
