Description
My brothers and I used to eat this when we were younger. They’re a lot like doughnuts but with the added fun of topping them with your favorite toppings. After a while of not having these, I started making them on my own for my family, and I enjoy them as much today as I did back then!
Ingredients
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ⅓ cups white sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 very ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups water
- 6 cups vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Combine the flour
- sugar
- and baking powder in a bowl until thoroughly mixed
- and stir in the bananas
- vanilla extract
- and water to make a smooth
- sticky dough.
- Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). The oil should be deep enough to completely cover the panikekes while frying
- or at last 3 inches deep.
- Scoop up a scant 1/4 cup of batter with a large spoon
- and use another spoon to push it off into the oil. Fry in small batches of 4 or 5 until they float to the top and turn golden brown
- about 3 minutes
- then flip them to fry the other side. Remove from the fryer and let drain on paper towels.
