A delightful twist on classic banana beignets, these fritters are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, perfect for a sweet treat.
Heat the oil in a deep fryer to 360°F.
Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the correct temperature for even frying.
In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg until frothy.
Whisking the egg well helps incorporate air, making the fritters light and fluffy.
Mash the bananas until smooth and add them to the egg.
Use a fork or potato masher to achieve a smooth consistency.
Add the flour, milk, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to the banana mixture. Stir until combined.
Avoid overmixing to prevent the fritters from becoming dense.
Drop tablespoon-sized portions of batter into the hot oil.
Fry in small batches to maintain the oil temperature.
Cook until golden brown on both sides, then remove and drain on paper towels.
Flip the fritters halfway through cooking for even browning.
Sprinkle powdered sugar over the fritters while they are still warm.
For an extra touch, you can mix the powdered sugar with a pinch of cinnamon.
Serve the fritters warm and enjoy!
Pair with a cup of coffee or tea for a delightful treat.
