Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces ripe bananas
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup water
- 2 cups vegetable oil
Instructions
Peel the bananas and cut them into halves or thirds, depending on their size, creating chunks that are easy to handle and fry.
In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Stir well to ensure the dry ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
Gradually add water to the dry ingredients while stirring with a whisk or fork to form a smooth batter. The batter should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test if the oil is ready by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil; if it sizzles and rises to the surface, it's ready.
Dip each banana piece into the batter, ensuring it is well-coated, and then carefully place it into the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
Fry each banana piece for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Once cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove the banana fries from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the banana fries warm as a delightful snack or dessert, optionally dusting with powdered sugar or serving with a drizzle of honey.
