Fried Banana Ingredients
Method
Fried Banana Directions
- 1
Prepare the Bananas
Peel the ripe bananas and cut them into slices, about 1/2 inch thick.
- 2
Make the Batter
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt. Mix well.
- 3
Add Water
Gradually add water to the dry ingredients while whisking until you achieve a smooth batter. The batter should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can check the temperature by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and rise to the surface.
- 5
Fry the Bananas
Dip each banana slice into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated, then carefully place it in the hot oil. Fry in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
- 6
Cook until Golden Brown
Fry the banana slices for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
- 7
Drain Excess Oil
Once cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove the fried bananas from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
