MASHED BANANA FRITTERS



Mashed Banana Fritters image

It's a popular Malaysian snack that's traditionally deep-fried, but here I am pan-frying it in a smidgen of butter or cooking oil. That works too and it's way healthier. ^_^ Children love it, too, as it's mildly sweet. Great as an afternoon snack with a mug of coffee or tea.

Provided by RotiJala

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 17m

Yield 12 fritters, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 big ripe bananas, mashed (about 180g)
3 -4 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon rice flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
1 1/2 tablespoons oil (for frying) or 1 1/2 tablespoons butter (for frying)

Steps:

  • Mix the flours, baking powder, soda, salt and sugar in a bowl.
  • Stir it into the mashed banana with a fork. (Add the fourth tbs of flour if mixture is too soft.).
  • Heat a frying pan to medium-hot and add enough oil to coat the flat area. (Traditionally, this snack is deep-fried but I find it not all that necessary.).
  • Scoop a tablespoon of the banana mixture onto the pan when the oil is heated to medium hot (a soft sizzling sound when the batter touches it). Flatten the batter slightly.
  • Fry one side till medium brown and flip over to fry the other side.
  • Place cooked fritters on a few layers of kitchen paper. Best served warm but cooled is good, too. :).

BANANA TOFFEE FRITTERS



Banana Toffee Fritters image

I first had this in a Chinese restaurant in the UK. It is a classic, my favorite Chinese dessert, and some restaurants will use a combination of apples and bananas. This is just as delicious with canned jackfruit for a Southeast Asian twist, but bananas are my favorite.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 20m

Yield Serves 4 to share

Number Of Ingredients 8

21/2 cups peanut oil
3 ripe bananas, plus 1 extra banana, sliced, to serve
41/2 oz dark brown sugar
2 tbsps of white sesame seeds
Vanilla ice cream, to serve
41/2 oz self-rising flour
2 eggs, beaten
Pinch of salt

Steps:

  • For the Batter: Sift the flour into a bowl and stir in the beaten eggs, then gradually add 2 tbsps of water and mix together into a batter. Add the salt and leave to stand for a few minutes.
  • For the Fritters: Place a wok over high heat and add the peanut oil. Heat the oil to 350degreesF, or until a cube of bread dropped in turns golden brown in 15 seconds and floats to the surface.
  • Peel the bananas, removing any strings from the fruit, and break each one into about 4 pieces. Dip the banana pieces one by one into the batter and then add to the hot oil. Fry for 3-4 minutes or until the pieces turn golden and float to the surface of the oil, then carefully remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  • While the banana fritters are draining, heat a small wok or skillet over medium heat and add the sugar. As the sugar starts to turn to liquid, quickly add the fritters and coat well in the caramelized sugar. Sprinkle over the sesame seeds as you turn the fritters in the pan: they will become toasted as they hit the hot sugar.
  • Remove the toffee fritters from the pan and dip them quickly in a bowl of iced water, then place on individual plates. Decorate with the banana slices and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
  • Take care not to overheat the sugar or it will taste burned, so keep the heat on medium-low when you are making the toffee coating for the fritters.

FRIED BANANA FRITTERS



Fried Banana Fritters image

This is an old traditional snack in most of Malay families, especially when there are too many ripe bananas at the back yard. We used to eat this for breakfast or evening tea. This is a trial an error recipe. You have to keep on trying to do it until you get the right texture and flavour. Once you master it you can do it with your eyes closed. But, it is worth trying since it is a really nice and tasty snack. The ingredients below are flexible. It's up to individual taste. If you like more bananas you have to add less flour and the fritters will be a softer. If you prefer the fritters to be more rounded and spongy use more flour. Either way the batter must look like cake batter before frying. I prefer more flour.

BANANA CORN FRITTERS



Banana Corn Fritters image

Serve as a side, snack or appetizer. Savory, smoky and slightly sweet - plus only 30 minutes start to finish! From my local newspaper which always publishes the greatest recipes! *Chipotle peppers are dried, smoked jalapeño peppers. The ground chipotle used in this recipe can be found in the Mexican/Spanish food section of your supermarket - or possibly in the spice section. This would make a great vegetarian meal served with black bean soup, coleslaw or crusty whole-grain bread.

cooking spray

  • Heat 1 T oil in nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, then REDUCE heat to medium; Using about 2 T of batter, drop and space 5 fritters in the pan; Cook until golden brown, 30 seconds to 2 minutes per side.

BANANA FRITTERS ON A STICK



Banana Fritters on a Stick image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 30m

Yield 4 portions

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 bananas (halved) or 8 nino/baby bananas
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
2 cups bread crumbs (recommended: Japanese Panko)
Vegetable oil, for frying
Confectioners' sugar for dusting
Chocolate peanut butter dipping sauce, recipe follows
1 cup milk
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 tablespoons peanut butter

Steps:

  • Skewer the bananas with popsicle sticks. Whisk the egg and then whisk in the milk. Dip each banana in the egg then toss in the bread crumbs to coat. Repeat the process to create a second coating. Heat oil to 365 degrees and drop in the bananas, moving them around to brown evenly on all sides. Place on paper towels to drain.
  • Dipping Sauce: Scald milk in a medium saucepan and transfer to a bowl containing chopped chocolate, gently stirring until chocolate is completely melted. Add vanilla and whisk in peanut butter until smooth.
  • Dust the banana fritters with confectioners' sugar. Drizzle chocolate peanut butter sauce over bananas or use as a dipping sauce.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas, as they are sweeter and have a better flavor.
  • Mash the bananas with a fork or potato masher until they are smooth, with no lumps.
  • Add a little bit of baking soda to the batter, as this will help the fritters to rise and become fluffy.
  • Heat the oil to the correct temperature before frying the fritters. The oil should be hot enough to sizzle when a drop of water is added, but not so hot that it smokes.
  • Fry the fritters in small batches so that they do not overcrowd the pan and cook evenly.
  • Drain the fritters on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
  • Serve the fritters warm, with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Banana fritters are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack.
