Sonhos de banana (Banana doughnuts) (Brazilian and São Toméan)



These traditional fritters (beignet-like) from São Tomé are considered traditional island fare, but they're also highly popular in Brazil, another former Portuguese colony. They resemble banana pancakes, only with a more liquid batter and more deeply fried.  
Recipe source: 196flavors.

Last year: nothing.
Two years ago: nothing.
Three years ago: nothing.



Ingredients:
  • 4 bananas, peeled
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 cup flour (120 g)
  • 1/2 cup milk (125 ml)
  • 1 egg
  • Cinnamon sugar
  • Flavorless oil (for frying)

Mash the bananas with a fork and mix with the sugar and flour.
Whisk together milk and egg then stir in the banana mixture to form a batter.


Heat oil in a frying pan to 350F/180C. Pour batter a tablespoon at a time into hot oil and fry for about 5 minutes, turning halfway through cooking, until the donuts are golden brown.


Drain on paper towels and serve dusted with cinnamon sugar. It's done, dig in! :)
