Banana Fritters
Banana Pancakes
My sister loved Banana Pancakes aka Banana Fritters. I was very finicky when I was little and did not care for them, but now I do! The bananas are the perfect fruit to add to the batter and fry until there is a crispy edge all the way around.
Supplies
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (additional sugar for sprinkling after cooking)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 Teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cup whole milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 2 cups mashed bananas
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
Mash peeled bananas and set aside. Place paper towels on a platter for the fried pancakes/fritters and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in milk, slightly beaten eggs, and vanilla. Add the mashed bananas until just combined. The batter will be runny.
Add oil to frying pan or skillet and heat on high heat. Pour about 1/8 cup of batter into the hot skillet. Fry until little bubbles appear and the edges turn crispy brown.
Remove from skillet and place on paper towel-lined platter. Sprinkle with a little white granulated sugar. Enjoy Keeping It Creole!
