Steps:
- Peel ripe bananas and place them in a medium-sized mixing bowl, then add sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and salt.
- Use a metal fork to mash bananas into pebble-sized pieces, simultaneously combining all the ingredients together.
- Add the flour and fold ingredients completely before adding water.
- Stir the mixture thoroughly until ingredients are combined and your batter is smooth but still slightly lumpy.
- Heat a large frying pan then add oil.
- Heat oil on medium-high temperature for approximately 1 - 2 minutes before adding the batter. (To test if your oil is ready, sprinkle a bit of flour in the oil after 1 minute. If bubbles form around your flour, it is ready).
- Once the oil is hot, carefully spoon small dollops of batter into the pan, leaving space between each fritter.
- Maintain medium-high heat and monitor fritters closely.
- When the edges of your fritters begin to brown, flip over. Cook each side for about 2 - 3 minutes or keep flipping your fritters until golden brown on both sides.
- Remove fritters from pan unto a large plate lined with thick paper towel.
- Allow banana fritters to cool slightly to have it warm and scrumptious!
- Bless up & enjoy it.
JAMAICAN RUMMED BAKED BANANAS
If you want a real Jamaica treat, there is nothing that beats rummed bananas. My friend Virginia Burke introduced them to me in the hills above Ocho Rios. She baked them on a traditional jerk pit. The taste of this dish will always bring back the memories of that afternoon in March and our friendship and laughter. Kevin Brauch, The Thirsty Traveler
