How to Make Banana Fritters
- Peel 3 ripe bananas and cut them in half lengthwise, then into 1-inch thick slices.
- In a large bowl, sift together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup cornflour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually whisk in 1 cup milk until a smooth batter forms. Add a pinch of sugar to the batter for added sweetness.
- In a separate bowl, beat 2 large egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter.
- Dip the banana slices into the batter to coat them evenly.
- Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Carefully drop the banana slices into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
- Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a wire rack or plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- While still warm, toss the fritters in 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar.
- Serve immediately, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
