Ingredient

1 packages

red velvet pancake mix (14 oz.)

veggie oil ( enough for deep frying)

1/2 packages

powdered sugar

the ingredients stated on pancake mix pkg.

1/2 cup

flour

1 tsp

baking soda

very slightly green bananas. (peeled)

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

heat oil in medium\small pot

* Step 2

slice bananas to desired thickness.. I prefer about 1/2 in... set aside

* Step 3

pour pancake mix in medium bowl. add flour and baking soda. sift together.

* Step 4

add ingredients according to pkg. directions. in my case it was just add water) (which seems to work best)

* Step 5

dunk banana slices into batter one at a time.

* Step 6

drop 4 at a time into hot oil and fry until lightly browned and is crispy.

* Step 7

remove from oil and drain and cool on wire racks. (place wax paper underneath cuz it may get messy)

* Step 8

in a seperate bowl pour in powdered sugar.

* Step 9

remove any "tails" of fried dough from ur banana balls.. ( do not discard.. they make great crumbles for on top of icecream!)

* Step 10

when completely cool roll the fried banana balls into the powdered sugar. coat completely! so they look like snowballs.

* Step 11

assemble on a plate and serve..

* Step 12

tip: when dropping into hot oil they do sink to the bottom and may stick... affter a few seconds just gently scrape them off and then they will float. fry for only a few seconds more. do not over fry or they will burn.
