| Banana Fritters ~ Banana Fritters 1¼ cup all purpose flour 1 tsp baking powder ¼ tsp baking soda ¼ tsp salt ¾ cup water 4 firm bananas 3 cups oil ice cream ~ vanilla 1. Combine 1 cup of the flour, baking powder, soda, and salt in a large bowl. 2. Gradually blend in water beating with a whisk until smooth. 3. Peel bananas. Cut each banana crosswise into 3 pieces, making a total of 12 pieces. Using the remaining 1/4 cup of flour, roll banana pieces in the flour until well coated. 4. Heat oil (I use a wok) over medium-high heat until it reaches 375o F. Dip banana pieces in flour-water mixture, coating completely. Cook 4 to 6 banana pieces at a time in the oil until golden, 2 to 4 minutes. Drain on absorbent paper. Serve with ice cream. Serves 4 |
