This is the recipe for the fruitcake that used to be sold by

guestimates.

Hello Jill,
Banana fritters are most often served with either pure maple syrup
or a sauce made with maple syrup. See the first recipe below. Below
it are some other sauce recipes that I found.
Phaed
Maple Banana Fritters
1 cup dark amber maple syrup
Vegetable oil, for frying
1 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
3/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
4 ripe bananas, peeled
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.
In a saucepan bring maple syrup to a gentle boil, reduce heat and
let simmer and cook for 10 minutes until thick and will coat the
back of a spoon. Remove from heat and let cool enough to pour into
a serving container.
In a deep frying pan, add 2 to 2 1/2-inches of oil and heat to 350
to 375 degrees F or until a drop of batter immediately rises to the
surface.
While oil is heating, sift together in bowl the flour, baking powder,
and salt. Beat eggs in a separate bowl and add to dry ingredients.
Add milk and vanilla to batter and mix until all ingredients are
incorporated and it has a pancake batter-like consistency. Add
additional milk a little at a time if needed. Let batter rest for 10
minutes to let the baking powder to become active and bubble.
Next, cut bananas into 1-inch size pieces on an angle and toss in a
bowl with lemon juice. Using two forks, coat banana pieces with the
batter and drop one at a time into the hot oil. Let cook until both
sides are golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes for each side.
Turn bananas with forks as they brown. Remove and drain on paper
towels, then place in oven on a lined baking pan to keep warm.
Repeat steps if doing a larger batch. Pour syrup over bananas and
serve as a dessert or side dish.
