World Recipe Banana Fritters

Combine plain flour, self-rising flour, and castor sugar in a large mixing bowl. Create a well in the center of the dry mixture.

Pour the lightly beaten eggs, milk, 1 teaspoon of oil, and vanilla extract into the well. Whisk the wet ingredients together, then gradually incorporate the dry ingredients until a smooth, thick batter forms.

Heat oil for deep-frying in a heavy-bottomed pot or deep skillet to 350°F (175°C). The oil should be about 2–3 inches deep.

Pat the halved bananas dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Working in batches, dip each banana half into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.

Carefully place the battered banana halves into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid crowding the pot. Fry for 2–3 minutes until the coating is golden brown.

Turn the banana fritters over with a slotted spoon and continue frying for another 1–2 minutes until the second side is golden brown and the coating is crispy.

Remove the fritters from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

While the fritters are still warm, dust them generously with sugar. Serve immediately.
