Step-by-Step Instructions for Skillet Banana Fritters
- In a mixing bowl, mash 2-3 overripe bananas until smooth, ensuring no large lumps remain. Stir in 1 cup of all-purpose flour, ½ cup of milk, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and a sprinkle of cinnamon and nutmeg. Mix until just combined, and let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
- While the batter rests, place a large skillet over medium heat and add about 2 tablespoons of butter or oil. Heat until the fat shimmers.
- Using a spoon, drop heaping tablespoons of the banana batter into the hot skillet, leaving space between each fritter. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown. Carefully flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until browned.
- Use a slotted spatula to transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm with whipped cream, maple syrup, or powdered sugar.

Notes
For best results, use very ripe bananas and avoid overcrowding the skillet while frying.
