Samoan Banana Fritters
Ingredients
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/3 cups white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 2 medium very ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil for frying, or as needed
Instructions
1
Combine the flour, sugar, and baking powder in a bowl and blend them until they are perfectly incorporated.
2
Stir the mixture with water, bananas, and vanilla extract until everything is well combined; the resulting dough should be smooth and slightly sticky.
3
Preheat a deep fryer with 3 inches of oil to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
4
Cook the dough in batches of four to five at a time, using a large spoon to scoop out 1/4 cup portions of the batter and then carefully sliding them into the hot oil with a second spoon.
5
Fry the dough until it rises to the surface and turns golden brown, approximately 3 minutes per side.
6
Remove the cooked panikekes from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess moisture.
