Banana Fritters A La Jacques Pepin

    I had an overripe banana so decided I'd try this out-- as I LOVE J. Pepin. He's my favorite chef, by far! Unfortunately these fritters came out waaaaay too greasy. I followed the recipe exactly and fried in hot oil, both batches were too oily to eat. They were gorgeous though and crispy, just sooo oily :(

    Banana Fritters a La Jacques Pepin, This is from Sweet Simplicity: Jacques Pepin’s Fruit Desserts These are all he said it is and more! The batter becomes like a tempura batter because of the ice water We added a large egg because it is included in the directions and not ingredients and it made sense If there is anyone who can look it up for me, I would appreciate it I copied the notes by hand, copy machine at library was broken, & I wasn’t allowed to check the book out We made these for the last night of Hanukah, there were a lot of over ripe bananas and went ahead and made the fritters I had been saving this recipe for awhile – am glad I did , I had an overripe banana so decided I’d try this out– as I LOVE J Pepin He’s my favorite chef, by far!
