Ingredients:
– 1 ripe banana
– 1 lemon, juiced and zested
– ½ cup flour
– 1 tsp baking powder
– ¼ tsp salt
– 1 egg
– ¼ cup milk
– 1 tbsp honey
– 1 cup vegetable oil, for frying
– Powdered sugar, for garnish
Instructions:
1. In a mixing bowl, mash the banana with a fork, leaving some chunks for texture. Add the lemon juice and zest, honey, egg, and milk. Combine until well mixed.
2. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add this dry mixture to the wet mixture and stir until well incorporated.
3. Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Test the heat by dropping a little batter in the oil, if it sizzles, it’s ready.
4. Drop tablespoons of batter into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove from the pan using a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
5. Once all the fritters are fully cooked, transfer them to a serving dish. Dust them with powdered sugar and a sprinkle of lemon zest for garnish.
6. Enjoy your delicious Banana and Lemon Fritters hot, straight out of the frying pan!
Tips:
– To get the best flavor, use a fully ripened banana that is slightly brown.
– If the batter is too thick, add a tablespoon of milk at a time until the right consistency is achieved.
– Use a deep fryer for an easier and more controlled frying process.
– Serve the Fritters topped with either whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or caramel sauce for added flavor.
