How to Make Plantain Fritters
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Set aside the dry ingredients.
- Peel 2 ripe plantains and slice them into 2-inch chunks.
- In a blender, combine the plantain chunks, ½ cup milk, 1 large egg, and 2 tablespoons of cooking oil.
- Blend until the mixture is completely smooth.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients (plantain mixture) to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Heat about 1 inch of cooking oil in a deep skillet or pot to 375°F (190°C).
- Carefully drop rounded tablespoons of batter into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
- Fry the fritters for 2 ½ to 3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through, flipping once.
- Remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve warm. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with honey for an extra touch of sweetness (optional).
