This is based on a recipe from Madge Rosenberg's cookbook, The Best Bread Machine Cookbook Ever - Ethnic Breads. She says, These fritters, similar to what we know as beignets, make inexpensive party food rich in natural fruit flavors. Children will enjoy munching these crispies with milk, but the big kids will eat their way through an endless supply with coffee or beer. My kind of fritters! Ingredients:
2 teaspoons active dry yeast |
1 3/4 cups bread flour |
1/2 cup whole wheat flour |
2 tablespoons sugar |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup flaked coconut |
1 cup banana, ripe and mashed |
1 egg |
1/4 cup milk |
2 -4 cups vegetable oil, for frying |
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar |

1. Add all the ingredients for the dough to your bread machine in the order suggested by the manufacturer and process on the dough cycle.

3. With a floured rolling pin, roll out the dough into an 8-by-12-inch rectangle.
4. Cut into 2-inch squares.
5. Place on a nonstick or greased tray, cover, and let rise in draftfree area about 30 minutes.
