For the best flavor, use very ripe bananas – the kind that are almost too ripe to eat on their own. They'll provide the most intense banana sweetness. Don't overcrowd the fryer; work in batches to maintain the oil temperature and ensure even cooking. If you prefer a crispier fritter, you can add a tablespoon of rice flour to the batter. Experiment with different toppings! A dusting of powdered sugar, a drizzle of honey, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream are all fantastic additions.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the frying station: Heat oil in a deep fryer or a heavy-bottomed pan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
StepCombine dry ingredients: Sift together the flour, salt, and baking powder into a medium-sized mixing bowl. This ensures a light and airy fritter. (2 minutes)
03
StepCreate the banana batter: In a separate bowl, thoroughly mash the ripe bananas with the sugar until a smooth paste forms. (3 minutes)
04
StepIncorporate wet and dry: Gradually add the sifted flour mixture to the mashed banana mixture, gently stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough fritters. (3 minutes)
05
StepFry to golden perfection: Carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry for 2 to 8 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the fritters are a deep golden brown and cooked through. (10-25 minutes)
06
StepDrain and serve: Remove the fried fritters from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain off any excess oil. Serve immediately and enjoy!

May 10, 2024My fritters turned out a bit greasy. Next time, I'll make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the batter.
