How to Make Banana Fritters With Brandy Sauce
- In a large bowl, mash bananas. Add flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, and melted butter.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, frying until golden brown on both sides (about 2-3 minutes per side).
- Remove fritters and drain on paper towels.
- For the brandy sauce: In a saucepan, combine brandy, heavy cream, and vanilla extract.
- Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce slightly thickens (about 5-7 minutes). Do not boil.
- Serve warm banana fritters immediately, drizzled generously with brandy sauce and dusted with powdered sugar.
