Directions
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! 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 :(,This is from Sweet Simplicity: Jacques Pepin’s Fruit Desserts. These are all he said it is and more!
