Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp Yeast
- 2 large bananas
- ¼ cup Sugar + 1 tablespoon (for yeast)
- 1 tsp Nutmeg
- 3 cups Flour
- ½ tsp Salt
- 1¼ cups Warm Water
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine warm water, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 7 minutes until foamy.
- In a large bowl, mash the bananas with the remaining sugar using a potato masher or fork.
- In another bowl, combine the flour, nutmeg, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients and the yeast mixture to the banana mash, mixing well as you go. Continue mixing until you have a smooth, lump-free
- Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and let it rise for 90-120 minutes until it has doubled in size and tiny air bubbles are visible.
- In a deep pan, heat oil to about 340°F (170°C). Test by dropping a small piece of batter into the oil—it should rise to the surface if the oil is ready.
- Use your hands or two spoons to form small balls of dough and gently drop them into the oil. Fry for a few minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Remove from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve warm with a sprinkle of powdered sugar or a dipping sauce of your choice.
