We've also transcribed the recipe to make it easier for you, after the cut.
Ed's Spicy Banana Fritters
Batter:
2 cup flour
2 TBS black and white sesame seeds
1 tsp. baking powder
3 TBS sugar
salt to taste
1 TBS honey
2 large eggs
2 cups of hoppy pale ale
Mix above ingredients until thoroughly incorporated.
Bananas:
Large bananas cut into 1-inch medallions
Sambal Oelek or similar chili paste
wooden skewers for serving
2 TBS cinnamon mixed with 4 TBS granulated sugar
2 cups of vegetable oil heated to 350 degrees
Brush banana medallions with a little bit of sambal chili paste; then spear medallions on skewers and dip in batter to coat. Dunk the coated medallions in the hot oil and fry for about 1 minute, or until the fritters become puffy and golden brown. Transfer fritters to a paper-towel-lined tray and sprinkle them while hot with cinnamon and sugar mixture. To finish, put a dollop of chili paste on a plate and place fritters on top. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and enjoy!
