banana beignets.

Say it like "ben-yays".
It is like a little banana doughnut, or fritter.
Amazing and simple.

Banana Beignets

The batter is lumpy and almost like cookie dough

Banana Beignets
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for frying
1 1/2 cups flour
1 Tablespoon Corn Starch
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/3 cup plus 1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1/2 cup milk or cream
1 large overripe banana, mashed
1 teaspoon vanilla

Whisk together the flour, corn starch, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, stir together the sugar, egg, milk, banana, vanilla, and 2 Tablespoons of oil. Blend the dry ingredients into the wet, until just mixed. The batter will be a bit lumpy.

Heat 2 inches of oil in a fry pan, until it reaches 375degrees. I don't have a thermometer, so I heated it until a piece of bread dropped in the oil sizzled and turned golden in about 15 seconds.

Drop the dough by rounded spoonfuls into the hot oil. Fry on each side for about 15 seconds, or until a rich golden color. Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon, and place beignets on a paper towel. Roll in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar. Serve warm.
