For this dish, be sure your plantains are completely black, since the fruit becomes sweeter as it ripens. (Yellow or mottled brown plantains are very starchy and usually take about a week to fully ripen.) Serve these fritters as a snack or pair them with ice cream for a delicious dessert.
1. Whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking power, and salt in a large bowl, then add water and egg and whisk until batter is smooth.
2. Peel plantains and cut on a slight diagonal into 1/2 inch pieces. Stir into batter to coat well.
3. Stir together sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
4. Heat 1/2 inch oil in a 10 inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until 340F hot. Fry plantain slices in batches of 6 until bottoms are golden, about 45 seconds then turn over and fry until other side of is golden. 30 to 45 seconds more. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain.
5. While still warm, toss each batch in sugar mixture until coated, then transfer to a platter. Serve hot or warm
