Banana Fritters



My roommate had a bunch of bananas in the fridge which I knew if not put to good use,
 soon would go to waste.
With her permission I decided to make one of my favorite Jamaican desserts. 
Banana Fritters!

Ingredients

3 ripe bananas
1 egg
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg
1/2 cup of sugar
2 cups of all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4-1/2 cup milk

Directions
Peel and mash the ripe bananas.
Beat egg, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Next, blend egg mixture with mashed bananas.  Make sure it is all incorporated.
Then sift flour and baking powder into the banana/egg mixture.
 Mix it all together.
If the batter seems to be too thick add a little milk.
Add oil to a frying pan and place on medium high heat. 
Drop spoonfuls of the banana fritter batter into the hot oiled frying pan.
Flip when you see the edges starting to get brown and golden.
Lastly, combine cinnamon and sugar together to create your cinnamon sugar.  
Sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top and serve with Vanilla Ice cream if you like.

Yumtastic!
