Crisp Banana And Pineapple Fritters Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.
• In a saucepan bring maple syrup to a gentle boil, reduce heat and let simmer and cook for 10 minutes until thick and will coat the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and let cool enough to pour into a serving container.
• In a deep frying pan, add 2 to 2 1/2-inches of oil and heat to 350 to 375 degrees F or until a drop of batter immediately rises to the surface.
• While oil is heating, sift together in bowl the flour, baking powder, and salt. Beat eggs in a separate bowl and add to dry ingredients. Add milk and vanilla to batter and mix until all ingredients are incorporated and it has a pancake batter-like consistency. Add additional milk a little at a time if needed. Let batter rest for 10 minutes to let the baking powder to become active and bubble.
• Next, cut bananas into 1-inch size pieces on an angle and toss in a bowl with lemon juice. Using two forks, coat banana pieces with the batter and drop one at a time into the hot oil. Let cook until both sides are golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes for each side. Turn bananas with forks as they brown. Remove and drain on paper towels, then place in oven on a lined baking pan to keep warm. Repeat steps if doing a larger batch. Pour syrup over bananas and serve as a dessert or side dish.

Steps:

• In a small bowl sift together the flour, the baking powder, the granulated sugar, the ginger, and a pinch of salt. In a bowl combine well the pineapple, the banana, the milk, and the egg, add the flour mixture, and stir the batter until it is combined. In a kettle heat 1 1/2 inches of the oil until it registers 375°F. on a deep-fat thermometer, drop the batter by tablespoonfuls into the oil in batches, and fry the fritters, turning them, for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, or until they are golden. Transfer the fritters with slotted spoon to paper towels to drain and sift the confectioners' sugar over them.

Steps:

• Saute butter, sugar and pineapple chunks for 10 minutes in a saucepan. Add orange juice and cinnamon, bring to a boil. Dilute cornstarch with two tablespoons water, add to sauce. Reduce heat and let simmer for three minutes. Add bananas, simmer for two minutes, turn heat off.
• Divide half the banana mixture among the pineapple shells and top each with one scoop vanilla ice cream. Pour the remaining sauce mixture on top of the ice cream and then the rum, and light the rum with a flame.

Steps:

• Sift dry ingredients into a medium bowl. Combine egg and buttermilk, and stir into dry ingredients, mixing until well combined. Place bananas carefully in batter. (They can rest in the batter, covered until you are ready to fry them.)
• Heat the oil to 350 to 390 degrees F or until the oil gives off a slight haze. Make sure bananas are well coated with batter before setting them in oil. Using a fork, place coated bananas in oil and fry for 2 to 4 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from oil with tongs and drain on several layers of paper towels. Dredge drained fritters in sugar and serve hot with ice cream and caramel or chocolate sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat a deep-fryer or a deep pot of oil to 350 degrees F. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, a dash of salt and pepper, cinnamon, and the nutmeg, to taste.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and the buttermilk. Whisk into the flour mixture until smooth. Let rest for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
• Dip the banana chunks in the batter and fry until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Dust with powdered sugar and serve.

Steps:

• Note: batter needs to sit for a day in the refrigerator before cooking Place the flour, sugar, and salt in a medium-sized bowl. Separate the eggs. Make a well in the ingredients and place the egg yolks in the well. Mix, adding the water and, gradually, the milk. Beat the egg whites to stiff peaks and gently fold them into the mixture. Add the lemon zest and the nutmeg, stirring to mix them in. Cover the bowl with a damp clean dish towel and place it in the refrigerator for a day.
• When ready to prepare the fritters, heat the oil to 375 degrees in a heavy Dutch oven or deep fryer. Peel the pineapple, core and cut into 1-inch pieces. With tongs, dip the pieces into the batter and fry them until they are golden brown on each side. Remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and let them drain on absorbent paper. Place them on a serving platter and sprinkle them with both the confectioners' sugar and cinnamon by placing them into a small sieve and shaking it over the fritters. Serve warm
