A classic and delightful dish that is familiar to many. The banana fritters are enjoyed in many different ways throughout the world. Some enjoy it with tea or coffee during tea time, some enjoy it with ice cream or syrup as a dessert, some enjoy it as a breakfast item, and some even enjoy it with spicy soy sauce sambals!
Regardless of how you enjoy it, they are without a doubt an amazing and delightful treat. In this delightful recipe, I have experimented with multiple different kinds of flour and fancied it up a bit. However, you may simply use all-purpose flour with cold water to achieve a delightfully crispy batter. You may even use carbonated water. Do not be afraid to experiment with the recipe to get an end result that you desire.
