1. 1
   Sift the flours; this will make your batter airier.
2. 2
   Peel the bananas and remove the strings.
3. 3
   Put them in a bowl and mash them.
4. 4
   Start by doing it with a fork and finish by hand.
5. 5
   Add the sifted flours and the baking powder to this banana puree; then the sugar and the salt.
6. 6
   Mix well and add your eggs (if you use them), beating your batter by hand. You need to obtain a smooth and supple batter. (Feel free to add more flour if necessary.)
7. 7
   Prepare your frying bath by placing a large pot over fairly high heat and pouring in the oil.
8. 8
   Knead the fritter batter again.
9. 9
   As soon as the oil is very hot, wet your fingers in a container filled with water, scoop up a small amount of batter and gently slide it into the frying bath.
10. 10
    When the pot is filled with fritters, separate them with a fork and let them cook, puffing up gently.
11. 11
    Once fully golden, remove them using a slotted spoon and drain them on absorbent paper.
12. 12
    Repeat the operation until the batter is used up. Serve hot or warm.
