Yield Makes about 22 fritters

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons double-acting baking powder
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground ginger
3/4 cup chopped fresh pineapple, drained
3/4 cup chopped banana
1/2 cup milk

Steps:

In a small bowl sift together the flour, the baking powder, the granulated sugar, the ginger, and a pinch of salt. In a bowl combine well the pineapple, the banana, the milk, and the egg, add the flour mixture, and stir the batter until it is combined. In a kettle heat 1 1/2 inches of the oil until it registers 375°F. on a deep-fat thermometer, drop the batter by tablespoonfuls into the oil in batches, and fry the fritters, turning them, for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, or until they are golden. Transfer the fritters with slotted spoon to paper towels to drain and sift the confectioners' sugar over them.
