Plantain fritters are a popular snack in many Caribbean and Latin American countries, and can be enjoyed in sweet or savory variations. This recipe, inspired by Andre's signature style, features ripe plantains mixed with flour, eggs, and vanilla to create a flavorful batter that is deep-fried until golden brown. These fritters are perfect for a quick snack or as an appetizer for your next party. The sweetness of the plantains and the crispy texture make them irresistible to anyone who tries them!

Instructions

1.	Heat up the oil in a deep skillet over medium heat.

5.	Carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil and fry until golden brown.
6.	Remove from the oil and place onto a paper towel-lined plate to drain off any excess oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
