About the Recipe

Fritters:

3 overripe plantains, diced

1 and 1/3 cup of flour

1/2 Tablespoon baking powder

1/2 Tablespoon of cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg

1/2 cup water (or enough to make batter wet)

1 cup of cooking oil of choice

Icing:

1/2 cup of powdered sugar

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

2-3 Tablespoons of cream

Peel and dice plantains. If they are not ripe enough, saute in coconut oil and honey until soft enough to mash.
Mix dry ingredients.
Add mashed plantains.
Add water and mix until the batter is wet and lumpy.
Heat oil in a deep pot or fryer.
Using an ice cream scoop, scoop batter into hot oil, making sure there is room between fritters. You will need to fry them in batches.
Flip fritters over to make sure they are golden brown on both sides, approximately two minutes per side.
Remove from oil with a slotted spoon and place on thick paper towels.
Once slightly cooled, whisk together powdered sugar, vanilla, and cream to make the icing.
Drizzle or coat the tops of each fritter with icing or dust with powdered sugar.
