MA'S SECRET JAMAICAN BANANA FRITTERS
My Ma (grandma) has been making these banana fritters for me all my life and she's never given the recipe out to any one but me! Others in the family have tried, but they just don't come out the same. Even though these are probably really fattening, I love to eat them in moderation throughout the year because they're so addictive! Plus, it's a great way to get dh and the kids to eat a fruit!

Steps:
- Peel bananas and place into a large bowl. Smash them with a fork until they start to get somewhat runny. Add sugar, vanilla, milk, salt, and flour and mix until the "batter" just barely runs off of the spoon (just a little thinner than the consistency of pancake batter). If it is too thick, it will be too airy, like pancakes.
- Heat oil in a frying pan on medium heat.
- Once the oil is HOT, drop tablespoons of the batter in at a time, as if you were making mini pancakes.
- When the edges are firm, turn over and cook the opposite side. The fritters should be a medium-brown color, not light and not burnt. Drain onto paper towels and serve warm. Mmm -- .

JAMAICAN BANANA FRITTERS
Was inspired by a post from thatssoyummy.com, and did some research online. This recipe is my own version, with no added sugar, as using ripe bananas already gives it a very pleasant natural sweetness.

Tips:
- Choose ripe bananas: Overripe bananas are ideal for this recipe, as they are sweeter and have a softer texture.
- Use all-purpose flour: All-purpose flour is the most common type of flour used in baking and will give the fritters a light and fluffy texture.
- Add sugar to taste: The amount of sugar you add will depend on your personal preference and the sweetness of the bananas. Start with 1/4 cup of sugar and adjust to taste.
- Use vegetable oil for frying: Vegetable oil is a good choice for frying because it has a high smoke point, meaning it can be heated to a high temperature without burning.
- Fry the fritters in small batches: Do not overcrowd the pan when frying the fritters, as this will cause them to stick together and not cook evenly.
- Drain the fritters on paper towels: After frying, drain the fritters on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
Conclusion:
Jamaican banana fritters are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are a great way to use up overripe bananas and are a perfect snack or side dish. With their crispy exterior and soft, fluffy interior, these fritters are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
