Coconut banana fritters are a delightful and tropical treat that combines the natural sweetness of bananas with the rich and nutty flavor of dried coconut. These fritters are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, making them a perfect dessert or snack option. The addition of sparkling water adds a light and airy texture to the batter, while the brown sugar and light sour cream enhance the overall taste. With just a few simple steps, you can create this delicious dish that is sure to impress your family and friends.
Instructions:
- Peel and mash the bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Set aside.
- Melt the butter and let it cool slightly.
- Measure out all the other ingredients to have them ready for mixing.
- In another bowl, combine the self-raising flour and baking soda. Ensure they are well mixed.
- To the mashed bananas, add the brown sugar, light sour cream, melted butter, and sparkling water. Mix well until all the wet ingredients are fully combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients (the flour and baking soda mix) into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; you want a slightly lumpy batter.
- Gently fold in the dried coconut meat into the batter until evenly distributed.
- In a large skillet or deep frying pan, heat the peanut oil over medium heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking. Test it by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle immediately and begin to brown.
- Using a spoon or a small ice cream scoop, drop portions of the batter into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pan; fry the fritters in batches to ensure they cook evenly.
- Fry each fritter for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the finished fritters from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Allow them to cool slightly before serving.
- Serve the coconut banana fritters warm. They can be enjoyed on their own or with a drizzle of honey, a sprinkle of powdered sugar, or a dollop of whipped cream for added sweetness.
Tips:
- Ensure the bananas are ripe, as they will provide more natural sweetness and a better texture for the fritters.
- Use sparkling water at room temperature to achieve a lighter and fluffier batter.
- When frying the fritters, do not overcrowd the pan. Fry them in batches to maintain the oil's temperature and ensure even cooking.
- Drain the fritters on a paper towel after frying to remove excess oil and keep them crispy.
- Serve the fritters warm for the best taste, possibly with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of honey.
