Matt's Banana Fritters

1 tsp. baking powder
1 c. flour sifted
1 Tbls. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
2 eggs
1/2 c. milk
2 Tbls. vegetable oil
6 medium firm bananas
oil for frying
confectioners sugar (for topping)
Butter (for topping)

Sift flour, sugar, powder, and salt in one bowl. In another bowl beat eggs, milk and oil with whisk. Combine with dry ingredients and stir until flour is moistened. Prepare bananas by cutting in half and than split each half (4 pieces of banana for every banana). Drop split bananas into batter with fingers. Slowly drop into hot oil a few at a time, turning once during the cooking process. Cook 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and serve immediately. We split the top open, spread on some butter and than sprinkle with powdered sugar.

This is a real treat when Matt makes these for us.
