Fried Bananas

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bananas

    Peel the ripe bananas and slice them diagonally into 1/2 inch thick pieces.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the water while stirring until you have a smooth batter.

Frying

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test if the oil is ready by dropping a small amount of batter into it; if it sizzles, the oil is hot enough.

  2. 4

    Dip the Bananas

    Carefully dip each banana slice into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.

  3. 5

    Fry the Bananas

    Once the oil is hot, gently place the battered banana slices into the oil. Fry in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.

  4. 6

    Remove and Drain

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried bananas from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve

    Drizzle with honey or sprinkle with sugar to taste and serve warm.
