Cook like a Star, All Stars ~ Donna Hay's Banana Fritters with maple syrup

I followed the recipe to the T with the exception

of toasted flaked coconut for garnish - I used toasted almond slices

Banana Fritters with Maple Syrup

I used:

*2 cups supersoft flour (cos its what I have at hand)

recipe called for all purpose flour 

*3 teaspoon baking powder

*1/3 cup sugar (originally brown sugar)

*1 cup buttermilk (I used milk)

*2 eggs

*4 ripe bananas, mashed

*butter for the pan

*2 bananas, extra, sliced lengthwise for garnish but I sliced into small rounds

*toasted flaked coconut, to serve

*maple syrup, to serve

HOW TO:

Place the flour, baking powder, sugar, buttermilk,eggs and bananas in a large bowl and mix to combine.

Heat a large non-stick frying pan (I used my cast iron skillet!)

on medium heat,put in a pat of butter, pour a ladle full of batter in the center cook until bubbles appear on the surface.

Turn the fritters over (with an off-set spatula)and cook for 1 minute or until golden.

Repeat with rest of batter.

Served stacked with banana slices in between fritters and topped with toasted coconut (almonds)and maple syrup.

Full recipe made a lot!! so you might want to halve it!
