Gâteaux Bananes - Sweet Banana Fritters

Another popular one from Mauritius - A very ingenious way to use over-riped bananas if you are tired of the usual banana bread. Popular with afternoon tea or simply as a warm dessert with cream .

INGREDIENTS :

3 Ripe Bananas
5- 6 tablespoons of sugar
1 1/2 cup of flour 
1 egg lightly beaten 
1/3 cup of milk 
1 tsp of vanilla extract 
Oil for deep frying

METHOD :
  • Mash bananas leaving a few chunks
  • Mix in flour , beaten egg , milk sugar and vanilla 
  • If batter is too thick add a little bit more milk to get the right consistency which should fall off spoon easily but not overly liquid 
  • Heat oil in pan on medium heat 
  • Add spoonfuls of banana batter in oil
  • Fry until golden brown
  • Set on paper towel
  • Add icing sugar on top or serve hot with cream

  2. Hello ! Thank you very much for your kind comments. Much appreciated. I did not use Baking soda nor powder for this recipe. I find the egg is enough to make the fritters light and airy . This is the recipe I have always used after trying many , I ended up liking this one the most ! One thing you could try is perhaps use self raising flour instead ? Let me know how it turns out and thank you again for visiting :)
