Servings: Makes: 12 Fritters
 
Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
6 small to medium size bananas, medium firm,
cut in half lengthwise or 12 "Plantation Bananas", left whole
Vegetable oil, for frying

For Garnishing:
Confectioner's Sugar
Ground Cinnamon
Fresh Limes, cut into wedges

Instructions:
Sift flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder in a small bowl.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract,
and the 2 tablespoons of oil.
Combine liquid ingredients with the dry ingredients.
Stir until all the flour is moistened.

Slice bananas in half lengthwise (unless using very small bananas).
Place bananas in bowl with batter, coat well. With tongs or fingers,
drop bananas (letting excess batter from bananas drain into batter bowl).
into at least 2 inches of heated oil (375 degrees F on deep
frying thermometer) in a deep frying pan or a deep fryer.

Fry 2-3 banana halves at a time, so they don't crowd each
other in pan, turning them once or twice or until golden brown while
frying, about 2-3 minutes. With a slotted spoon remove fritters
carefully to paper towels to drain. Sprinkle tops with confectioners
sugar and cinnamon. Accompany fritters with lime wedges so guests
can squeeze over fritters, optional. Serve immediately.


*NOTE: If using very small bananas (Plantation Bananas), you don't
need to slice them. Just coat them in batter and fry whole.
You will have 12 fritters.

Makes: 12 Banana Fritters (if using medium size bananas sliced in half lengthwise). Two fritters per person.
Makes: 12 Banana Fritters (if using Plantation Bananas, left whole). Two fritters per person.
