BANANA FRITTERS



Banana Fritters image

Provided by Jacques Pepin

Categories     easy, quick, dessert

Time 20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 1/3 cups ice-cold water
1 cup (approximately) canola oil
3 ripe bananas
1/2 cup (approximately) granulated or confectioner's sugar

Steps:

  • Place the flour, egg and about half the water in a bowl. Mix with a whisk for a few seconds, until the mixture is smooth. Whisk in the remainder of the water. If you are not completing the recipe immediately, refrigerate the batter until you are ready to make the fritters.
  • In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1/4 cup of the oil to about 400 degrees. Meanwhile, peel the bananas and, holding them directly over the bowl containing the batter, cut them crosswise into 1/2-inch slices and let the slices fall into the batter.
  • Make 3 or 4 fritters at a time, using about 1/4 cup of the batter for each and pouring it into the hot oil. Spread the mixture lightly to create disks about 3 inches in diameter. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, turn and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on the other side, until the fritters are nicely browned.
  • Remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack to drain. Continue making fritters, adding more oil as needed, until all the batter has been used. Sprinkle the drained fritters generously with sugar and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your fritters will be.
  • Mash the bananas well: This will help to create a smooth batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the fritters tough.
  • Use a hot skillet: This will help to create a crispy crust on the fritters.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: Cook the fritters in batches so that they have enough room to brown.
  • Serve the fritters warm: They are best when served fresh out of the skillet.

Conclusion:

Skillet banana fritters are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make these fritters at home. So next time you have a craving for something sweet, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
