- Ready In:
- 40mins
- Ingredients:
- 7
- Yields:
-
24 Pani-kekes
ingredients
- 3 1⁄2 cups plain flour
- 1 1⁄3 cups white sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 bananas, very ripe and mashed
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 1⁄2 cups water
- vegetable oil (for frying)
directions
- Combine the flour, sugar, and baking powder in a bowl until thoroughly mixed, and stir in the bananas, vanilla extract, and water to make a smooth, sticky dough.
- Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). The oil should be deep enough to completely cover the pani-kekes while frying, or at last 3 inches deep.
- Scoop up a scant 1/4 cup of batter with a large spoon, and use another spoon to push it off into the oil. Fry in small batches of 4 or 5 until they float to the top and turn golden brown, about 3 minutes, then flip them to fry the other side. Remove from the fryer and let drain on paper towels.

What a treat! My young grandson ate three of them in no time. The texture was like a cake donut, and they were not as sweet as I expected (a good thing). I topped with a little powdered sugar for fun. Made for the ZWT7 for the Hot Pink Ladies. -
Delicious, delicious, delicious. These pancakes were excellent Kristin. They are more like a fritter than a pancake, but it doesn't matter, what they are called, they are awesome. They are quick and very easy to make. The flavor was outstanding. Thank you for sharing a recipe that I will make again and again. Made for ZWT7 for Witchin Kitchen.

<p>I love, love, love to cook. Most of all I love to cook for friends and family because it is such an awesome feeling to bring the people that mean the most to me through such an essential ingredient for life... FOOD! I am a vegan the switch opened up the world of cooking in a way I never imagined! People constantly ask me 'what do you eat?' and I can confidently tell them that if they were to leave meat and dairy behind they would find an enormous world of food out there that they have never heard of! And it is all more delicious and nourishing than animal products. My ultimate goal is to shake my 9 to 5 office job and become a caterer or open my own restaurant and I am forever dreaming of my big lottery win that will allow me to do this.</p>
