Directions
- In a large stainless steel bowl, combine the flour, light brown sugar, baking pwdr, cornstarch, salt and cinnamon. Set aside.
- Smash the bananas to a rough-textured consistency in a stainless steel bowl using a slotted spoon (they should yield about 1 c.). In another stainless steel bowl, whisk together the beer, egg, and lemon juice. Pour this mix over the bananas and use the slotted spoon to combine thoroughly.
- Add in the banana and beer mix to the dry ingredients and usa a rubber spatula to combine thoroughly all the ingredients. Add in the minced walnut pcs and chocolate chips. Thoroughly combine with a rubber spatula and set aside.
- Prehead the oven to 325 degrees.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer (or possibly a high-sided, heavy duty pot) to a temperature of 350 degrees. Use a #50 ice cream scoop (or possibly long handled Tbsp.) to portion the batter. Drop 6 scoops of batter into the warm oil and fry till golden, about 2 to 3 min. Use tongs (or possibly a slotted spoon) to remove the fritters from the warm oil and transfer to a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Repeat this process till all the fritters are fried , then place them in the preheated oven for 10-12 min, till a toothpick inserted in the center of a fritter comes out clean.
- Dust the fritters with confectioner's sugar. Serve warm.
- Makes 24 fritters
- Be certain to stir the batter in between frying each batch of fritters to prevent the chocolate chips from settling to the bottom of the batter.
- After each batch, skim the frying oil with a slotted spoon to remove fried residue. For an elegant dessert, serve 2 0r 3 warm fritters in a pool of White Chocolate Sauce sprinkled with a generous portion of fresh red raspberries.
