Ma's Secret Jamaican Banana Fritters

Total Time: 30 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

• 3 bananas (ripe, starting to turn brown)
• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 1/4 cup milk
• 2 -4 tablespoons brown sugar (or )
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 pinch salt
• oil (for frying)

Recipe

• 1 peel bananas and place into a large bowl. smash them with a fork until they start to get somewhat runny. add sugar, vanilla, milk, salt, and flour and mix until the "batter" just barely runs off of the spoon (just a little thinner than the consistency of pancake batter). if it is too thick, it will be too airy, like pancakes.
• 2 heat oil in a frying pan on medium heat.
• 3 once the oil is hot, drop tablespoons of the batter in at a time, as if you were making mini pancakes.
• 4 when the edges are firm, turn over and cook the opposite side. the fritters should be a medium-brown color, not light and not burnt. drain onto paper towels and serve warm. mmm -- .
