Maruya | Banana Fritters
What can get better than battered and crispy-fried bananas sprinkled in sugar? I love this recipe because there's banana mashed into the batter, but also has a fan of actual sliced Saba banana on top: you get the best of both worlds! Crunchy, not-too-sweet (best Asian dessert compliment, ever), crisp, and soft Banana Fritters. You can make this however you'd like: mash it all, make chunks, add round slices, or fan it out: this is just my fave way of doing it. Enjoy this recipe!
Maruya | Banana Fritters
Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Total Preparation and Cooking Time: 30 minutes
Yield: 8 servings
Ingredients:
8 Saba bananas, ripe (smash 4 and leave 4 whole)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup corn starch
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 egg
1 cup milk of choice (cow, oat, coconut, almond etc.)
3/4 cups cooking oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup granulated white, Muscovado, coconut sugar, or powdered sugar for topping
Directions:
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, corn starch, baking powder, salt, and mix the dry ingredients with a whisk.
Mash 4 bananas and add it to the dry ingredients. Then, add egg, vanilla extract, milk, and lightly mix until well combined.
Divide and slice the remaining bananas into 8 pieces lengthwise. Slice each piece into fanned out slices: this is called Pinaypay (fan). Slice each piece 3/4 of the way (about 4-5 slices), avoid cutting the end to keep the fan together.
Pre-heat oil in a pan to 350F.
Use a medium ice cream scooper to scoop the batter and gently place into hot oil, then immediately place banana fan on top. Fry until golden brown on both sides.
Place on a wire rack to cool and sprinkle sugar on top of each fritter. Serve and enjoy!
