Beignets de Banane
Banana pieces dipped in batter and fried until golden.

About Beignets de Banane
Anne Coppin presents these banana beignets in a feature on Mali, describing banana fritters as an African classic with many versions. Large banana pieces sit inside a flour-based batter.
Sugar is named in the recipe, with salt balancing the batter. A little baking powder accompanies the flour and egg, while optional vanilla extract offers an additional aromatic note.
The banana pieces have a golden fried coating and are served hot. Their soft fruit centres contrast with the browned batter surrounding each piece.
