Jamaican banana fritters are a traditional dessert and snack dish in the Caribbean. They can be served by themselves, in a platter along with other fritters, or with different toppings, like cinnamon, coconut, or even ice cream.

Ingredients

• 3 ripe bananas
• 200 grams all-purpose flour
• 60 ml room-temperature milk
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 3 tablespoons brown or white sugar
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 pinch salt
• Oil for frying

Procedure

1. Peel the bananas and mash them in a bowl until runny.
2. Heat oil in a deep frying pan at medium heat.
3. Add the sugar, milk, vanilla, salt, and flour to the bananas and mix until approximately the consistency of pancake batter or a bit thinner.
4. Drop tablespoons of the mixture into the heated oil, and fry until edges are firm, then flip to cook other side until golden brown.
5. Drain on a towel and serve hot.

Notes, tips, and variations

• Sprinkling sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon or coconut on the fritters after frying.
• Serving with a scoop of ice cream.
