My brothers and I used to eat this when we were younger. They're a lot like doughnuts but with the added fun of topping them with your favorite toppings. After a while of not having these, I started making them on my own for my family, and I enjoy them as much today as I did back then!

Time 40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ⅓ cups white sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 very ripe bananas, mashed
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups water
6 cups vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • Combine the flour, sugar, and baking powder in a bowl until thoroughly mixed, and stir in the bananas, vanilla extract, and water to make a smooth, sticky dough.
  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). The oil should be deep enough to completely cover the panikekes while frying, or at last 3 inches deep.
  • Scoop up a scant 1/4 cup of batter with a large spoon, and use another spoon to push it off into the oil. Fry in small batches of 4 or 5 until they float to the top and turn golden brown, about 3 minutes, then flip them to fry the other side. Remove from the fryer and let drain on paper towels.

Provided by á-39535

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup sugar
Pinch of salt
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
Water
Oil for frying

Steps:

  • Heat up your oil over medium heat, then as soon as it starts to get shimmery, turn the heat down low. If you have anything as fancy as a thermometer in your kitchen, heat the oil to somewhere between 320°F and 356°F (160°C to 180°C). Sift the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Add the egg and milk, then mix everything up with enough water to form a thick batter like a wet dough. Fry tablespoonfuls in the oil for 3-5 minutes until they're dark golden brown. If your oil is too high, the panikeke will be uncooked on the inside. If your oil is too low you'll have greasy panikeke. So every couple of batches, break one open to make sure it's cooked through.

Categories     Pancakes

Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 c flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 c sugar
pinch of salt
1 egg
1/2 c milk
just enought water for the dough
oil for frying

Steps:

  • 1. Heat up your oil over medium heat, that as soon as it starts to get shimmery, turn the heat to low. If you have a thermometer, heat oil to somewhere between 320 and 356 degrees F. (160 - 180 degrees C)
  • 2. While oil is heating, sift flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. add the egg and milk, and mix everything up with enough water to form a thick batter/wet dough.
  • 3. Fry tablespoonfuls in the oil for 3-5 min. until they are a dark golden brown. if your oil is too high, the paikeke will be uncooked on the inside. If your oil is too low you'll have greasy panikeke. Break one open every few to make sure that they are done.
  • 4. Eat hot or col, though these usually don't get a chance to cool doen before they're snatched up.
  • 5. Note- You can substitute self-rising flour for the flour and baking powder. When you double or triple, or for sure quadruple the recipe, make sure when you add the water you don't add too much and get the wrong consistency.
  • 6. Suggestion, add a little vanilla to the mix to give it a little extra kick. Also you could try putting the dough into a pipping bag and just pipe them into the oil.
  • 7. If you mix the dough just right and the oil is at the right temp., then the panikeke will round themselfs out, no matter what shape you drop them into the oil. And if your panikeke has "horns", oh buddy, snatch those up quick because they are crunchy and delish!!!

Tips

  • Make sure the batter is not too thick or too thin. It should have a consistency similar to pancake batter. The thicker the batter, the denser the panikeke will be. The thinner the batter, the crispier the panikeke will be.
  • Heat the pan or griddle over medium heat before cooking the panikeke. This will help to prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Use a non-stick pan or griddle to cook the panikeke. This will also help to prevent them from sticking and make them easier to flip.
  • Cook the panikeke in batches. Do not overcrowd the pan or griddle, as this will make it difficult to flip the panikeke and may cause them to stick together.
  • Flip the panikeke once they start to bubble around the edges. This usually takes about 1-2 minutes per side.
  • Serve the panikeke warm with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include butter, honey, syrup, fruit, and whipped cream.
