Big Momma's Easy Jamaican Banana Fritters

Most people love bananas.  My mother often made us fritters (fried breads) with added vegetables or fruit. She was an amazing cook.  I know she would enjoy these with hot cup of coffee.  They are great
for breakfast or as a dessert.


2 very ripe bananas
1 1/2  cups pancake mix (Bisquick)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2-3/4 cup milk
Oil for frying
Confectioner's sugar to dust cook fritters
In a mixing bowl, mash peeled bananas until almost smooth (keep a few bits of banana).  Add pancake mix, cinnamon, and vanilla.  With a whisk, slowly add milk 1/4 cup at a time until you get a smooth batter a little thicker than a cake mix.  Depending on the size of the bananas, you may need more or less milk to reach the right consistency.
Heat oil in a large skillet or frying pan until it reaches 360 degrees. 
Carefully drop batter by tablespoons into hot grease.  You can use a small ice cream scoop to get a more controlled sizing.  Cook about 4 minutes and then turn over for another 3-4 minutes or until fritters are golden brown.  Remove from oil and drain on plate lined with paper towels.  Remove from paper towels and dust with confectioner's sugar. 


NOTE:  You can serve these with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, caramel dipping sauce, or Nutella that has been slightly heated in the microwave to thin a bit.
