Banana Fritters

Here is a great breakfast to make on the weekend. A fritter is much like a Beignet. Make sure that you use clean, fresh oil when frying.

2 medium ripe Bananas, ripe but firm, peeled and coaarsely chopped

1 cup All-purpose Flour

1 large Egg, lightly beaten

1/4 teaspoon Salt

2 teaspoons Baking Powder

About 1/2 cup Milk

3 cups Vegetable Oil

Confectioner’s Sugar for sprinkling

1/2 teaspoon ground Cinnamon

Combine the bananas, flour, salt, and baking powder in a medium mixing bowl. Add enough milk to achieve the consistency of a thick pancake batter.

Heat the oil in a large deep pot or deep fryer to 360 degrees. Drop the batter by spoonfuls into the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry until the fritters rise to the surface of the oil and are golden brown, turning 2 or 3 times.

Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with confectioner’s sugar and cinnamon. Serve immediately.

Enjoy!!!
