Jamaican banana fritters
Quick and easy Jamaican style banana pancakes that are dense with a little sweetness.
Ingredients
- 2 (297g) bananas
- 2.5 oz (60g) seltzer water
- 4 tsp (16g) maple syrup
- 1 ⅛ tsp (1g) salt
- ¾ C (125g) flour
- neutral frying oil
Instructions
batter
- In a large bowl mash the peeled bananas until they they are broken down to a pudding like consistency( some small chunks are ok )
- Add the seltzer water and maple syrup and gently mix until fully incorporated
- Add the salt and flour and gently fold in until fully incorporated.
Frying
- Coat a wide pan with a quarter inch of neutral oil and bring to a medium low heat.
- Ladle in the batter and spread around until it's roughly a quarter to half inch high.
- Fry on each side for roughly 3 minutes
- After cooking place on on a plate lined paper towel to drain any excess oil
Notes
If the oil is too hot the sugars in the batter will burn before the middle is cooked so low and slow is best.
