Sourdough Banana Fritters
Crispy fried sourdough banana fritters made from either fed sourdough starter or discard. You can eat them plain or serve with ice cream and chocolate sauce for the ultimate comfort dessert!
Equipment
- Deep Fryer or Pot of Oil
- Metal Scoop
Ingredients
- 450 g Overripe Bananas approx. 4 large bananas
- 2 Eggs
- 50 g Sugar
- 5 g Vanilla Extract
- 150 g Sourdough Starter can be discard
- 250 g All Purpose Flour
- 10 g Baking Powder
- 5 g Salt
- 2 L Vegetable Oil for deep frying
- 50 g Cinnamon Sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Before you starter, turn on your deep frier or pot of oil (I have used my Dutch Oven that I bake bread in, filled with 2L of vegetable oil).
- Mash the overripe bananas with the back of a fork until they have turned into a puree (a little chunky is fine).
- Add the sugar, eggs and vanilla to the bananas and whisk together until foamy.
- Now add the sourdough starter, flour, baking powder and salt and whisk until it forms a batter. It will be spoonable, but you don't want it too thick.
- Once the oil is at temperature, test a small drop of batter. If it sizzles and floats, the oil is ready.
- Spoon blobs of sourdough banana fritter mixture into the hot oil. They don't have to be perfect, they will be funny shapes and that's ok! Allow them to fry in the oil for a few minutes before using a metal scoop to turn them.
- They will turn a dark golden color. After 5 minutes in the oil, remove them and place them on a paper towel to drain.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar if desired.
