Mexican Chocolate And Date Fritters Recipes

MEXICAN CHOCOLATE-BANANA MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
• In a separate mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, egg, melted butter and milk until incorporated.
• Stir the banana mixture into the dry ingredients just until blended (but do not over-mix as it could result in a tough muffin). Stir in the chopped Mexican chocolate.
• Divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
• Bake the muffins until the tops are pale golden and a tester inserted into the center comes out with some melted chocolate attached but no crumbs, about 30 minutes.
• Transfer the muffins to rack to cool for 15 minutes. Then remove from the muffin tins.

CHOCOLATE FRITTERS

Steps:

• Sift the flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar together into a mixing bowl. Add the egg, butter, and milk, and mix until smooth.
• Slowly heat 3 inches oil to 340°F.
• Dip the chocolate into the batter, coating each piece completely. Fry the fritters, a few at a time in the hot oil until golden brown all over, about 1 or 2 minutes. drain each batch on paper towles, then tranfer to a warm serving platter and dust with confectioner's sugar.
