These great little fritters are a breakfast favorite.
INGREDIENTS (for 6 servings):
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 bananas, mashed
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 tablespoon margarine, melted
- 1 quart vegetable oil for frying
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
PREPARATION:
In a mixing bowl, combine the milk and bananas. Sift in the flour, salt, and baking powder. Thoroughly mix in the eggs and margarine.
Heat the oil in a large skillet to 365 degrees F (180 degrees C).
Carefully place spoonfuls of the mixture into the hot oil and fry until brown. Flip the fritter and continue to brown. Remove fritters from the oil and drain on paper towels. Dust the fritters with confectioners' sugar and serve while warm.
Editor's Note:We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. The exact amount may vary depending on cook time and temperature, ingredient density, and the specific type of oil used.
