How to Make Banana Fritters A La Jacques Pepin
- In a large bowl, mash the bananas until mostly smooth but with some chunks remaining.
- Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and ice water until light and frothy.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, whisking gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the mashed bananas.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).

- Remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
