BANANA FRITTERS

6 small bananas
185 g (1 1/2 C) flour
1 tbsp sugar plus additional for dusting
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 eggs, lightly beaten
125 ml (1/2 C) fresh milk
1 tsp melted butter
250 ml (1 C) oil

Slice bananas lengthwise into half, or into thinner strips to form a fan. Sift together 1 cup flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Blend in the eggs, milk and butter, then mix to form a smooth batter. Dip each banana slice into the batter and turn over several times to coat well.
Heat oil in a frying pan. Spread remaining 1/2 C flour in shallow dish. Dust the banana slices lightly with flour. Fry in hot oil until firm and fully cooked. Repeat with remaining batter. Drain on paper towels.
Dust cooked fritters lightly with sugar before serving.
