Ingredients
Method
Techniques
- 3 cup plain all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp instant yeast
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 whole overripe plantains
- ½ whole onion
- 1 whole habanero pepper
Peel the plantains; blend with the onion and habanero to a smooth paste.
- 1 cup warm water
Add the plantain paste first, then about a cup of warm water; mix by hand 30 seconds to a minute to develop a little gluten, to a batter neither too stiff nor too wet.
Mixing the batter
Clean down the bowl and rest 40 minutes to an hour until risen two or three times.
- oil
With a hand dipped in water, drop small scoops of batter into hot oil, turning as they brown so they color evenly and do not burn.
