Description

These Brandied Banana Fritters are flavorful, crispy, melt-in-your-boozy mouth bites of pure goodness. An easy recipe that you should try at least ONCE!

Ingredients

Banana Fritters

1 cup sifted flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
¼ cup sugar
1 egg beaten
⅓ cup milk
2 tablespoons shortening melted
2 -3 bananas
oil for deep frying

Brandy Sauce

½ cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
¼ teaspoon salt
2 cups boiling water
4 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons brandy
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions

Combine flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar by sifting them together.
Mix the egg, milk, and melted shortening in a separate bowl.
Add the liquid mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until a smooth batter forms. Despite being a stiff batter, the fritters will retain a refreshingly crisp texture even after cooking.
Slice each banana into 3 chunks, lightly dust them with flour, and coat them with the fritter batter.
Fry the coated bananas in hot deep oil (375 F) until they turn golden brown, ensuring to flip them regularly.
Drain the fritters on paper towels.

For the Brandy Sauce

Take a saucepan and add sugar, cornstarch, and salt.
Pour in boiling water gradually while stirring constantly.
Simmer the mixture over low heat for approximately 5 minutes, or until it becomes clear and thickened.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in butter, brandy, and nutmeg.
Serve the warm Brandy Sauce over the banana fritters.
