Ingredients
- 2 cups (mashed) Ripe papaya
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cups (for frying) Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons (for garnish) Powdered sugar
Directions
Step 1
Peel the papaya, remove seeds, and mash the flesh in a bowl until smooth. Measure out 2 cups.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Step 3
Add the mashed papaya, milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until a thick batter forms. Avoid overmixing.
Step 4
In a deep skillet or saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
Step 5
Using a tablespoon, carefully drop small scoops of batter into the hot oil, frying 4-5 fritters at a time. Do not overcrowd the pan.
Step 6
Fry the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 7
Repeat the frying process until all the batter is used.
Step 8
Let the fritters cool slightly, then dust them with powdered sugar before serving.
Step 9
Serve warm, and enjoy your tropical papaya fritters!
