Ingredients

• 3 pieces Ripe bananas
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 cups Vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the ripe bananas and mash them in a bowl until smooth but slightly chunky.

Step 2

In a separate mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Step 3

In another small bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a thick batter forms. Then, gently fold in the mashed bananas to create a uniform mixture.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. The oil should be around 350°F (175°C). Test by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and float to the top.

Step 6

Using a spoon or small scoop, carefully drop dollops of the banana batter into the hot oil. Fry 4-5 fritters at a time to avoid overcrowding the pan.

Step 7

Cook each fritter for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fritters from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 8

Repeat the frying process with the remaining batter.

Step 9

If desired, dust the warm fritters with powdered sugar before serving.

Step 10

Serve the fritters warm as a delicious snack or dessert.
