These golden brown fritters are a favorite in West Africa, where my aunt served as a missionary for 45 years. Make sure the plantains are very ripe, or substitute bananas instead. Ingredients:
2 large ripe plantains or bananas, peeled |
1 cup king arthur unbleached self-rising flour |
1 small onion, cut into wedges |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
dash pepper |
oil for deep-fat frying |
Directions:
1. Place plantains in a food processor; cover and process until smooth. Add the flour, onion, salt and pepper; cover and process until blended (batter will be moist).
2. In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat 1/4 in. of oil to 375°. Drop tablespoonfuls of batter, a few at a time, into hot oil. Cook for 1 minute on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Yield: 28 fritters.
