Banana Fritters

Took this from a Food Network magazine and changed it up a bit. Mmmmmmmm.

Ingredients:
1/4 cup corn starch
1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 banana
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup milk
pinch of salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (plus more for frying)
1/2 cup milk
2 tsp. baking powder
1 egg
confectioner's sugar (for bedazzling)

Directions:
1. Heat up at least 2 inches of canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 375 degrees F.
2. Prepare the batter. I always do the wet ingredients with sugar separately from the dry ingredients, and then add them together. So do that. The bowl you use for the wet ingredients should be large enough to house all of the ingredients. Wet ingredients = egg (beat it), banana (mash it in there to an even consistency), milk, pure vanilla extract, vegetable oil, + sugar and brown sugar. Dry ingredients = all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, corn starch, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.


3. Use an ice-cream scooper spoon to add the batter to the oil. Turn the fritters in the oil so they cook evenly about. The shape should be spherical, but it never works out that way, so don't worry if that doesn't happen. Let sit for as long as necessary until the fritters have browned and cooked evenly.

4. Remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and place them a paper towel-lined plate so the excess oil can be absorbed. They sort of look like baby chickens, right? Don't worry... they don't taste like chicken. If you like chicken, I am so sorry for you, but this is not the right recipe for you.

4. Place on a plate and sprinkle confectioner's sugar for extra yumminess!
