How to Make Banana Dumplings

  1. In a large bowl, mash the bananas until mostly smooth but with some texture remaining.
  2. Add the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to combine.
  3. Gently stir in the milk until a thick batter forms. Do not overmix.
  4. Heat about 1 inch of oil in a large skillet or pot over medium-high heat.
  5. Once the oil is hot (a small piece of batter should sizzle immediately), carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil.
  6. Fry the dumplings for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Remove the dumplings from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  8. Serve warm and enjoy! You can dust with powdered sugar or serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
