Method
Fried Banana Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Bananas
Peel the ripe bananas and cut them diagonally into thick slices, about 1-inch wide. Set aside.
- 2
Make the Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Mix well. Gradually add in the water, whisking until you have a smooth batter with no lumps.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter into it; if it sizzles and rises to the surface, the oil is ready.
- 4
Fry the Bananas
Dip each banana slice into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Carefully drop the battered banana slices into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
- 5
Drain and Serve
Once fried, remove the bananas from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Drizzle with honey just before serving.
