Quick Caribbean breakfast treat (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Fritter Ingredients
01 -
4 very ripe bananas
02 -
60 g plain flour
03 -
3 tbsp sugar
04 -
½ tsp vanilla extract
05 -
¼ tsp nutmeg
06 -
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
07 -
Pinch of salt
08 -
Cooking oil for frying
# Instructions:
01 -
Peel the bananas and break them into a bowl. Mash them thoroughly with a fork or potato masher until smooth.
02 -
Add the flour, sugar, vanilla extract, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt to the mashed bananas. Stir everything together until you get a soft paste that's similar to pancake batter but a bit thicker.
03 -
Pour enough cooking oil into a frying pan to shallow fry the fritters (the oil shouldn't completely cover them). Heat the oil over medium heat until hot.
04 -
Using a tablespoon, scoop portions of the batter and carefully drop them into the hot oil. You might need to lower the heat a bit to prevent burning. Fry until golden brown on one side, then flip and cook until the other side is also golden and the inside is cooked through.
05 -
Remove the fritters from the oil and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve warm as is or with a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
# Notes:
01 -
These fritters are best enjoyed fresh and warm, straight after cooking.
02 -
The batter consistency should be thick enough to hold its shape when dropped into the oil.
03 -
These can be served as breakfast, snack, or dessert - versatile for any time of day!
