Fried Bananas

4 pieces Bananas

1 cup 00 bread flour

2 tablespoons Cornstarch

1 teaspoon Baking powder

2 tablespoons sugar

1 pinch Celtic sea salt

1 cup Ice water

2 cups Tuscany sunflower oil

Coconut Ice Cream

2 cups Coconut milk

3 tablespoons sugar

1 teaspoon Watkins vanilla extract

1 pinch Celtic sea salt

Method

Prepare the Coconut Ice Cream

Make the Coconut Mixture

In a mixing bowl, combine coconut milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir well until the sugar is dissolved.

Chill and Freeze

Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. Freeze until firm.

Fry the Bananas

Prepare the Batter

In a bowl, mix together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Gradually add ice water and whisk until smooth.

Heat the Oil

In a deep frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until hot.

Fry the Bananas

Peel and slice the bananas lengthwise. Dip each banana slice into the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place the coated bananas into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Drain and Serve

Remove the fried bananas from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with a scoop of coconut ice cream on top.
