Ingredients

2 ripe bananas

1 cup self-raising flour

1/2 teaspoon castor sugar (slightly finer than regular U.S. sugar)

1/2 teaspoon lemon juice

1 cup castor sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 cup oil for frying

Strawberry or raspberry jam

Directions

Mash bananas with 1 cup of castor sugar and lemon juice. Add flour, and mix to a thick paste.

Heat oil in a small pan to smoking point and then turn heat to low. Use 2 teaspoons to push 1 teaspoon of dough into the oil, frying no more than 6 pieces at a time.

Turn puffs over and keep turning for 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon, drain, and roll in cinnamon and sugar.

Serve with jam.
