Notes
- The riper your bananas are, the sweeter your fritters will be. Modify the sugar amount to your preference.
- The fritters are not meant to be fluffy like pancakes or bread. They are to be thinner and moister.
- If using a cast-iron skillet, reduce the heat to medium rather than medium-high.
- It's best to cook these fritters in a non-stick skillet to avoid any sticking.
