Instructions

  1. Peel the plantains and mash them with a fork until you have a fairly smooth purée.
  2. Add the sugar, shredded coconut, cinnamon, salt and egg, then mix.
  3. Gradually work in the flour until you have a soft dough that doesn't stick too much to your fingers.
  4. Shape small patties about 1 cm thick with damp hands.
  5. Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
  6. Fry the fritters for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until nice and crispy.
  7. Drain them on kitchen paper and enjoy while still warm.

Variations and tips

Version without frying. Lay the fritters on a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake for 15 minutes at 200 °C, turning them halfway through.
