These traditional fritters, with their crispy edges and soft, banana-filled centers, are a humble reminder of the beauty in simplicity.
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed (the riper, the sweeter)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (for a lighter texture, sift it)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 tsp baking powder (helps them puff up)
- 1/4 tsp salt (balances the sweetness)

Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix until just combined.
- Gradually add water to the mixture, stirring continuously, until you achieve a thick batter consistency. Tip: The batter should coat the back of a spoon but still drip off slowly.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or a heavy-bottomed pan to 350°F. Use a candy thermometer for accuracy.
- Using a tablespoon, carefully drop portions of the batter into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pan. Tip: Fry in batches to maintain oil temperature.
