Serves: 8
Ingredients
Fritters:
-
2
cups all-purpose flour
-
1/2
cup
3 tablespoons granulated sugar -
2 1/4
teaspoons baking powder
-
1
teaspoon kosher salt
-
1
teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
2
large eggs
-
1/2
cup
2 tablespoons whole milk -
2
tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
-
2
tablespoons honey
-
1
teaspoon pure vanilla extract
-
1
large banana, peeled and diced
-
Vegetable oil, for frying
Glaze:
-
2
cups powdered sugar
-
3
tablespoons whole milk
-
1
tablespoon honey
Directions
Fritters:
- Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a medium bowl to combine.
- Whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, honey, and vanilla extract in a large bowl to combine. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated. Fold in the bananas.
- Pour enough oil into a large saucepan to come about two inches up the side of the pan. Place the oil over medium-high heat, until a deep-fry thermometer registers 375°F. Working in batches, use a small ice cream scoop to drop the batter into the hot oil. Fry the fritters for 2 to 3 minutes, until golden brown all over. Drain on paper towels.
Glaze:
- Whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and honey in a shallow bowl to combine. While the fritters are still warm, dip in the glaze and turn to coat. Serve warm.
