Sweet banana pieces in a wheat-flour batter, fried until golden.
About Banana Fritters
Savanna Select presents these banana fritters as a Guinean sweet snack. This version uses ripe banana pieces with wheat flour, sugar and baking powder in a thick batter.
The bananas provide natural fruit sweetness, with optional cinnamon adding aroma. Frying oil surrounds the batter, and an optional icing-sugar dusting gives the finished pieces a sweeter surface.
The fritters have a golden, crisp exterior and a soft banana centre as described by the publisher. They are served warm, with tea offered among the optional drink accompaniments.
