Ingredients
BANANA FRITTERS
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup (122g) milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 2 ripe bananas, chopped
- Vegetable or canola oil, for frying
GLAZE
- 1 ¼ cups (156g) confectioners' sugar
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla
- 3-6 teaspoons water (could also use milk)
Instructions
BANANA FRITTERS
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, milk, vanilla, and melted butter.
- Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture, stirring until combined.
- Fold in the ripe, chopped bananas.
- Fill a frying pan halfway with oil. Heat over medium heat until the oil reaches 375°F with a candy thermometer.
- Slowly drop ¼ cup of batter into the oil and let fry until golden brown, about 2-4 minutes per side depending on the heat of your oil.
- Flip and fry until the opposite side is golden brown. To test for doneness, insert a small knife (or toothpick) into the center. If there's still uncooked batter in the center, fry for a bit longer. Transfer to a paper towel-lined cooling rack and let cool. Repeat with the remaining batter being sure to check the temperature of the oil throughout the process.
GLAZE
- Make the glaze by combining the sugar, vanilla, and 3 teaspoons of water. Add more water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until a pourable consistency is reached.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled fritters and let dry.
