Little fried donuts with a tropical flavor of bananas. As an option, I have added crushed pineapple. The traditional panikeke is made with banana and rolled in cinnamon sugar. This recipe has an optional coconut syrup to dip the panikekes in. Ingredients:
3 1/2 cups flour |
1 1/3 cups sugar |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
2 bananas (very ripe and mashed) |
1 tablespoon vanilla |
1 1/2 cups water |
1/4 cup crushed pineapple (optional) |
6 cups oil (for frying) |
cinnamon-sugar mixture, for rolling |
1/3 cup water |
1/3 cup sugar |
1 cup coconut milk |
1/8 teaspoon sea salt |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
Directions:
1. Combine flour, sugar and baking powder, stir in bananas, pineapple (if using),vanilla extract and water to make a sticky dough.
2. Heat oil in a deep-fryer, heat to 350 degrees. (Oil should be deep enough to completely cover the panikekes or at least 3 deep).
3. Scoop up egg size dolops of dough, push off into oil, fry in small batches until they float and turn golden brown (about 3 min.), flip them over to fry on the other side, remove and drain on paper towel.
4. Rolll in a mixture of sugar and cinnamon. or dip in coconut syrup.
5. Coconut Syrup:.
6. In a small sauce pan over medium heat, combine water and sugar, cook 6-8 minutes, add coconut milk, sea salt and vanilla, cook until mixture forms a slightly thick syrup.
