Pro Tips

• I always use my electric frypan when making fritters as I find I can fit more on to the large square cooking area

• I use my quarter cup measuring cup to scoop the batter into the pan as I find the fritters then come out fairly evenly sized and a good serving size

​

Ingredients

3 super ripe bananas

2 eggs, whites separated

1 teaspoon vanilla

½ teaspoon nutmeg

½ teaspoon cinnamon

1 tablespoon molasses

1 tablespoon sugar

2 cups plain flour

¼ cup milk

Pinch of salt

¼ cup oil

¼ cup icing sugar

​

How to make it:

In a large bowl mash the bananas along with the egg yolk

Add the spices, vanilla, molasses and sugar, combine together

Add the flour mixture and milk alternately

Whisk the egg whites then slowly add them in being careful not to deflate the volume

Coat the base of an electric or stovetop frypan with oil and heat until hot but not smoking

Using a quarter cup measure, spoon batter into frypan and fry fritters in batches. Do not over crowd the pan

Once you see the edge of the fritters start to turn a golden brown colour, flip them over. Turn only once

Once cooked through, remove the fritters and place them on a plate lined with paper towel

Sprinkle with icing sugar and serve warm with peanut butter or nutella

Makes 15 fritters
