Serves Makes 25

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cooking Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

For the fritters

3 ripe bananas
120 g flour
1 t baking powder
A pinch salt
60 g brown sugar
Vegetable oil, for frying

For the apple spice, mix:

2 T ground cinnamon
1 t ground nutmeg
1 t ground cardamom
1⁄2 t ground ginger
1⁄4 t ground allspice
1 T icing sugar

Method

Mash the bananas with a fork.

Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl. Add the sugar and stir in the mashed banana until a sticky dough forms.

Place the oil over medium heat and, when hot, drop in spoonfuls of dough and fry until golden brown. 4 Remove the fritters from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper. Roll the fritters in the apple spice mixture before serving.

Cook’s note: Dip the fritters in honey for more sweetness if you like. Apple spice – an American favourite – is made with warming spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg and is as delicious in home-made apple pie as it is with these moreish fritters.
