Wow! Super yummy! Crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside. I used 2 really ripe bananas, regular flour, and vanilla exact(1/2 tsp. instead of banana. :D

I swear I'm never gonna loose this last ten pounds! I was looking for recipe for these over ripe bananas that I got and came across this and I read all the reviews and used regular flour and added extra flour and used vanilla extract cause I didn't have banana extract and added a little cardamom and dropped the mixture in as close to the oil as I could to prevent the funnel cake thing and they came out mostly round with some legs on them! They are very tasty! Next time I will use banana extract and use my cake frosting kit and make a funnel cake!

My family really liked them. They came out light on the inside and crisp on the outside with a nice flavor. I had a little more banana and all purpose flour in mine than it called for but they were still really good. I rarely use flavorings so I did not add any of that. I used a deep fryer and kept my spoonfulls of dough small. They cooked all the way through and did not burn on the outside. Fried dough type desserts are a family favorite- doughnuts, fritters, etc and I have tried MANY recipes. This one will go in our favorite file.

What a way to ring in 2012 than to have our first "meal" include these fried treats! I was a little nervous they wouldn't turn out, so I added extra flour (I had pulled the recipe from the magazine so I didn't think to check reviews on here first. I think about 1/4 cup or so did the trick, maybe more. I just added until the right consistency. Keeping a candy thermometer around when frying in a saucepan is key to making sure the temp stays right on. I got the oil up to about 380-degrees...by the time I added a few drops of batter, it had cooled down. I also used a cookie scoop, which helped keep the round shape. Not perfect, but I didn't care. Flavor was great and it was fun!

I was excited to make these beignets but was very dissapointed. First off, the dough was watery. I had to add more flour to it. Then after making the first few, noticed that I needed to add sugar to the dough as well. Also, the balls don't come out as perfect round, they are more like ovals and long shapes. Additionally, though I kept the oil on medium, after it reached 375F, The outsides were starting to burn in 10-15 seconds, while the inside was still not cooked. This wasn't a good recipe at all. I am glad I practiced them today, as I was planning on making it for a party in a few days.

Tried these this past weekend. Wished I came here first to read the reviews and how to fix the batter, but was still pretty successful. The first beignet was more like a funnel cake and then I too added more flour. It helped and then I used a cookie scooper to get a more rounded scoop of batter. It was still pretty runny, but the scooper seemed to help hold its shape. The kids and husband LOVED them. They were so fresh and wonderful. At first I wasn't too sure about how they would turn out, but with a slight adjustment the recipe became a keeper. Can't wait to make these again.

Excellent taste and consistency. Like others, i struggled with getting them into a shape even remotely resembling a ball as the dough was very wet. In fact, short of throwing it out, i added another third cup of flour so it had more consistency and afterwards was able to at least get them into the oil without a huge debacle. Hold the dough very close to the oil as it is coming off the spoon and use another spoon to help get it off all in one lump.

The final product was nothing short of dynomite. Will make again as wife and kids loved them.
