Bunuelos De Planto(Banana Fritters)

• 1 c. flour
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1/2 c. milk
• 2 Tbsp. sugar
• 6 firm ripe bananas, peeled and cut lengthwise in half, then crosswise into quarters
• vegetable oil or shortening for deep-fat frying
• confectioners sugar
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1 Tbsp. butter, melted
• 1 egg white
• 1/4 c. dark rum or brandy

1. To prepare the batter, sift 1/2 cup of the flour and the salt into a deep mixing bowl.
2. Stir in the beaten egg and butter and then the milk and continue to stir until the batter is smooth.
3. Do not beat or overstir.
4. For the best results, set the batter aside at room temperature and let it rest for an hour or so, although it may be used at once if it must.
5. In either case, the egg white should be beaten with a whisk or rotary beater until stiff and then folded into the batter just before using it.
