GROWING UP, MY MUM MADE BANANA FRITTERS ALL THE TIME AND THEY WERE MY ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE. EVEN THOUGH PLANTAIN FRITTERS ARE COMMON IN THE CARIBBEAN, I DIDNT EAT THEM THAT OFTEN. BUT THEY’RE THE TASTIEST TREAT. WHETHER YOU EAT THEM AS A SNACK OR AS A DESSERT, YOU’LL BE MORE THAN PLEASED.
BE SURE TO USE PLANTAINS THAT ARE TURNING BLACK. THE DARKER THE PLANTAINS, THE SWEETER THE FRITTERS.
