My attempt is somewhat of a failure as the fritters didn’t hold its shape instead forming flat patties which almost resembled a banana pancake. Taste-wise however, it was spot on!
I would recommend using a lot more flour than the measly 3 tablespoons – in hindsight, and advice from mum, I realised the batter has to be very thick.
The way to test if the batter has the right consistency is to scoop up a tablespoon’s worth of batter and if it keeps it shape, you’ve got it right (source: mum)
Other than that, this is a perfect way of using up bruised or overripe bananas and it is perfect with a cup of tea!
