Banana Fritters & Banana Cake

I saw 4 bananas left in the kitchen this morning & decided to prepare some banana fritters and banana cupcakes on this coming Sunday.

Let me share with you on how I did both in the past!

I actually found the recipe for the banana fritters on this
website --> Recipe for Banana Fritters & I have also copied it to my blog for your easy reference too.
Hence, you may either click on it or refer directly to my blog. :)

Banana Fritters
 Ingredients 
4-6 Ripe Bananas, Peel and slice in half 
1/2 cup Self raising Flour 
1/4 cup Corn Flour 
1 tablespoon Rice Flour 
1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder 
A pinch of salt 
100ml Ice Cold Water 
1.5 tablespoon Cooking Oil, (to add to batter) 
Cooking oil, (for deep frying)






Method
1. Mix together the self raising flour, corn flour, rice flour, and salt. Add in the ice-cold water slowly and whisk until you get a smooth consistency with no lumps. Add more water if required. 
The batter should not be too runny and not too thick.
2. Peel and then slice the banana in half, lengthwise (see photo). Then add to batter. Leave it for about five minutes before frying.
Bananas to be peeled and slice in halves. Personally I like banana fritters that are serve this way.
3. Heat oil in a frying pan or wok
4. When oil temperature reaches 325 °F (185 °C), deep-fry the well coated bananas until they are golden yellow. Fry about 3-4 pieces at a time. If you overload, chances are the oil temperature will drop.
5. Place the cook banana fritters on paper towels, to absorb any excess oil, before serving.



As for the recipe for Banana cupcakes, it was from my Secondary School's recipes book. :P
