Mashed Banana Fritters

Ingredients

• 2 big ripe bananas, mashed (about 180g)
• 3-4 tablespoons flour
• 1 tablespoon rice flour
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
• 1 1/2 tablespoons oil or butter (for frying)

Directions

1. 1

   Mix the flours, baking powder, soda, salt and sugar in a bowl.

2. 2

   Stir it into the mashed banana with a fork. (Add the fourth tbs of flour if mixture is too soft.).

3. 3

   Heat a frying pan to medium-hot and add enough oil to coat the flat area. (Traditionally, this snack is deep-fried but I find it not all that necessary.).

4. 4

   Scoop a tablespoon of the banana mixture onto the pan when the oil is heated to medium hot (a soft sizzling sound when the batter touches it). Flatten the batter slightly.

5. 5

   Fry one side till medium brown and flip over to fry the other side.

6. 6

   Place cooked fritters on a few layers of kitchen paper. Best served warm but cooled is good, too. :).
