Notes

Notes for Making Banana Fritters

  • When frying the batter, keep the flame on medium to low heat to prevent the batter from burning.
  • Though a great snack, it can get greasy. After frying, drain on an absorbent paper towel before serving.
  • Ensure you sift the flour a few times before using it to help incorporate all the ingredients together when mixing.
