Belizean Plantain Fritters - Belize traditional dish

🧂 재료

👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Peel the ripe plantains and mash them thoroughly in a bowl until smooth.
2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
3
Add the dry ingredients to the mashed plantains. Mix well.
4
Gradually add milk, a tablespoon at a time, stirring until you achieve a thick batter consistency that holds its shape but is still spoonable. It should not be too runny.
5
Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C).
6
Carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pot.
💡 전문가 팁: Use two spoons to help shape the fritters.
7
Fry the fritters for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
💡 전문가 팁: Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.
8
Remove fritters from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
9
Serve warm.
