Ingredients

• 2 large Banana
• 1 cup Sweet corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Cornmeal
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the bananas and mash them in a large mixing bowl until smooth.

Step 2

Add the sweet corn kernels to the mashed bananas and mix well.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 4

In another small bowl, beat the egg and whisk it with milk and vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually add the wet ingredients (egg mixture) to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.

Step 6

Fold the banana-corn mixture into the batter until evenly incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). To test, drop a small amount of batter into the oil; if it sizzles and rises to the surface, the oil is ready.

Step 8

Using a tablespoon or small scoop, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook each fritter for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 9

Remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.

Step 10

Optionally, dust the Banana Corn Fritters with powdered sugar before serving.
