Banana Fritters

Very ripe bananas mashed into a spiced batter and fried into soft, craggy rounds. Ten minutes, and the blacker the bananas the better.

Method

  1. 1

    Mash and mix

    ⏱ 10 min

    Mash the bananas in a bowl until almost smooth, then stir in the flour, sugar, baking powder, nutmeg and vanilla to a thick, dropping batter. Let it stand 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Fry

    ⏱ 4 min

    Heat ½ inch (1 cm) of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Drop in heaped tablespoons, flattening slightly, and fry 2 minutes a side until deep gold and set through the middle.

  3. 3

    Drain and serve

    Drain on paper and serve hot, dusted with a little extra sugar and nutmeg.

Notes

Bananas with black skins are correct — yellow ones give a bland, floury fritter. Medium heat matters: too hot and the outside sets before the center cooks through.
