Notes
Mash the banana well so it blends better into the batter. Sift the wheat flour to avoid lumps and make the fritters lighter. Use low heat so they brown on the outside and cook inside without burning. Turn the fritters only when the bottom is golden and firm. The sugar and cinnamon topping is optional, but it adds a special touch at the end.
