Banana
Rum Fritters
Contributor: Harland Henry
Country: Antiqua
Ingredients:
4 bananas
1oz sugar
1/3 cup
rum
Batter:
3 oz plain flour
pinch of salt
1 tbsp
olive oil
¼ cup of corn oil
1/3-cup warm water
2 egg whites
¼
cup white sugar
Directions:
Peel and cut bananas into ½-in thick
rounds. Lay rounds in a shallow dish, sprinkle with sugar and pour rum on
them. Allow to stand for 1-½ hours, turning from time to time. Prepare the
batter: Sift flour and salt together. Make a well in the center and pour
in the olive oil and water gradually. Mix to a smooth batter and leave to
stand for one hour. Just before it is needed, lightly fold in the stiffly
beaten egg whites. Drop banana round in singly, so they are completely
coated. Fry in deep oil that has been heated to a faint smoke. Drain on
paper towels and serve immediately sprinkled with
sugar.
