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.
  • 2 tbsp sugar
Combine flour, sugar, instant yeast and a little salt.
Dry ingredients
  • 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.
Stir with a spoon to knock out trapped air.
  • 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.
Lift out the browned ones first onto a paper-lined sieve to drain.
