Comforting, satisfying fried bread made with just two ingredients.
Servings: 5
Ingredients
- 2 cups ripe bananas, mashed
- 2-3 cups green plantain flour
- 1/4 tsp. baking soda optional
- 1 Tbsp. sugar optional
- coconut oil for frying
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, add flour to the mashed bananas one-half cup at a time, mixing well, until a soft, non-sticky dough is formed.
- Preheat 2-3" of cooking oil in a heavy pot over medium heat.
- Roll the dough between two pieces of parchment paper to 1/4" thick, dusting with additional flour if needed to keep it from sticking to the paper. Cut into 3" circles with a biscuit cutter, cookie cutter, or jar ring.
- Slide the discs into the hot oil and cook until they are puffed and golden, turning if needed to brown both sides evenly.
- Remove to a plate lined with absorbent paper towels. Serve as soon as cool enough to touch. May be refrigerated for several days.
