- 1 1/4 cup sifted all purpose flour divided
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 large egg beaten
- 1/3 cup milk plus 3 tbsp
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tsp melted butter
- 2 firm bananas peeled and cut into 4 pieces
- 1 1/2 cup oil for frying
- Powdered sugar for garnish
Sift one cup of flour with baking powder, salt and granulated sugar.
Combine egg, milk and melted butter until smooth then add to dry ingredients and mix until batter is smooth yet stiff.
Roll banana pieces in remaining ¼ cup of flour then shake off (the extra flour helps to create an adhesive before dipping into the batter); dip into fritter batter, completely coating pieces with batter.
Fry in oil at 375 degrees until golden brown, turning fritters to brown evenly on all sides; drain on paper towels; sprinkle when hot with powdered sugar and serve with caramel sauce if you so desire!!
