Crispy, Golden, Irresistible Banana Fritters

1. Combine flour, white sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a small bowl.

2. In a large bowl, mash bananas. Mix in eggs, milk, and margarine until smooth. Stir in flour mixture.

3. Heat 1/2 inch oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Drop batter by spoonfuls into hot oil, and cook, turning once, until browned, 2 to 8 minutes. Drain on paper towels and dust with confectioners’ sugar.

Tips

These look kind of ugly at first, but they taste delicious! I’ll never go back to a donut shop for fritters again. I tried leftover pineapple and grated apple fritters too, and they were also good.
