BREAD MACHINE WEST AFRICAN BANANA FRITTERS



Bread Machine West African Banana Fritters image

This is based on a recipe from Madge Rosenberg's cookbook, The Best Bread Machine Cookbook Ever - Ethnic Breads. She says, "These fritters, similar to what we know as beignets, make inexpensive party food rich in natural fruit flavors. Children will enjoy munching these crispies with milk, but the big kids will eat their way through an endless supply with coffee or beer." My kind of fritters!

Time 35m

Yield 20 fritters

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons sugar

1 cup milk
5 bananas (about 1 pound)
oil, for deep frying
powdered sugar, for topping

Steps:

  • In a deep mixing bowl, stir the flour and sugar together and, with a whisk, beat in the eggs one at a time. Whisking constantly, add the milk, about 1/3 cup at a time and continue to beat until the batter is smooth and elastic enough to stretch like a ribbon from the beater when it is lifted up out of the bowl.

Turning them once or twice with a slotted spoon, fry for about 3 minutes or until the fritters are a rich golden color on all sides. as they brown, transfer them to paper towels to drain.
