Banana Fritters

Great recipe for delicious deep fried banana fritters, served with with confectioners sugar and cinnamon, or with with vanilla ice cream and a rich and buttery Cinnamon Sauce. There goes the diet but, oh, so yummy!

Ingredients
2 medium bananas, peeled and coarsely chopped
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 egg
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup milk (about)
3 cups vegetable oil
Confectioners sugar
Ground cinnamon

Directions
Combine the bananas, flour, egg, salt, and baking powder in a mixing bowl. Add enough milk to make a batter the consistency of a thick pancake batter.

Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with confectioners sugar and cinnamon. Or serve with with vanilla ice cream and Cinnamon Sauce. Yummy!
