My memory of banana fritters is from when dessert was rolled out, typically on Friday afternoon, if I was staying late at junior school. You had the option to ladle them with warm custard or smother them with jam.

Banana fritters are eaten across the African continent and the Caribbean with a variation in ingredients, as well as other cultures. Given that bananas make the top 5 most eaten fruits in the world, like dough, it is no wonder everyone found a way to fry them up!

If you have kids, consider serving these fritters up with ice cream!
