Fried Bananas

Method

Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Batter

In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add water to the dry ingredients, whisking until you have a smooth batter.

2

Heat the Oil

In a large frying pan or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until hot.

3

Slice the Bananas

Peel the ripe bananas and slice them into thick pieces, about 1-inch thick.

4

Fry the Bananas

Dip each banana slice into the batter, coating well, and carefully place them in the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side.

5

Drain and Serve

Once fried, remove the bananas from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm.
