Strawberry Banana Fritters

My grandmother made these crispy, fruity treats with apples, and my mother with sweet corn. When I didn't have either on hand, I substituted bananas and strawberries. Serve dusted with confectioners' sugar.

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
2 eggs
⅓ cup confectioners' sugar
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 bananas, chopped
½ cup chopped strawberries
¼ cup vegetable oil for frying

Directions

Sift flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together in a bowl.
Whisk eggs and confectioners' sugar together in a large bowl. Add milk, 1 teaspoon oil, and vanilla extract; mix well to combine. Add flour mixture; stir until just combined. Gently fold bananas and strawberries into batter.
Heat 1/4 cup oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Scoop 1/4 cup batter at a time into the oil and fry fritters, in batches, until light golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
