2. Once everyone is together, to find out how to make plantain fritters, follow the instructions!
3. We are going to start the recipe by preparing the mixture that will allow us to coat the bananas.
4. To do this, we take the pancake flour and place it in a deep container together with the cinnamon, sugar and salt, and mix perfectly until everything is well integrated.
5. Now, we take the eggs and add them to the mixture, we beat with the help of a fork until all the ingredients are well integrated.
6. Then, we add the milk and melted butter to the batter and, again, incorporate all the ingredients until a homogeneous mixture is observed.
7. In this step, if you want, you can use a hand blender to integrate the mixture and make it smooth.
8. Once the mixture is ready, we reserve it for a moment to continue with the recipe for easy banana fritters.
9. So, we take the plantains and slice them into slices approximately half a centimeter thick.
10. We submerge each of the slices in the batter that we prepared previously, making sure that they are perfectly covered, as shown in the photograph.
11. Keep in mind that the more covered the green plantain is, the crunchier the sweet fritters will be.
12. Now, we place the breaded plantain slices on a pan with enough hot oil, and let them fry.
13. We must be aware to prevent the fried banana fritters from burning; likewise, we cook them over medium heat.
14. Once golden brown, remove the buns from the oil and place them on absorbent paper to remove any excess fat they may have.
