deep-fried banana topped with coconut ice cream

In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Gradually whisk in the water until a smooth batter forms.

Prepare the Batter

In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Heat the Oil

Peel the bananas and cut them in half lengthwise or into thick slices, depending on your preference.

Prepare the Bananas

Dip each banana piece into the batter, allowing excess to drip off, then carefully place them in the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Fry the Bananas

Serve the fried bananas warm, topped with a scoop of coconut ice cream and a sprinkle of shredded coconut.
