Fried Plantain Fritters with Honey-Lime Dip Recipe

Description:

Golden-brown, crispy fried plantain fritters are stacked on a white plate, glistening with oil. The fritters are thick and plump, exhibiting a slightly caramelized exterior. Beside the fritters sits a small bowl of a light amber honey-lime dip, its surface reflecting the light. The overall image is warm and inviting, highlighting the delicious textures and appealing colors of the dish. The fritters are slightly irregular in shape, showcasing a homemade, rustic appeal. A sprinkle of cinnamon is visible on some of the fritters, adding a touch of warmth to their appearance. The honey-lime dip appears smooth and glossy, promising a sweet and tangy contrast to the savory fritters.


Ingredients:

  • - 3 ripe plantains, peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds
  • - 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • - 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • - 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • - 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • - 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • - 1/2 cup milk
  • - 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • - Vegetable oil, for frying
  • - 1/4 cup honey
  • - 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • - 1 tablespoon water

Instructions:

  1. 1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  2. 2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs.
  3. 3. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. 4. Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil is ready when a small drop of batter sizzles immediately.
  5. 5. Dip each plantain slice into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated, and carefully place it in the hot oil. Fry in batches, avoiding overcrowding the pan.
  6. 6. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
  7. 7. While the fritters are frying, prepare the dip by whisking together the honey, lime juice, and water in a small bowl until smooth.
  8. 8. Serve the warm fried plantain fritters immediately with the honey-lime dip for dipping.
