Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces ripe bananas
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cup cold water
- 4 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons honey or chocolate sauce (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
Peel the bananas and cut each one into halves or thirds, depending on their size. Keep the pieces uniform for even cooking.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the cold water to the dry ingredients, whisking until a smooth batter forms. Ensure there are no lumps.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure accurate frying temperature.
Dip each banana piece into the batter, coating it fully. Allow any excess batter to drip off before frying.
Carefully place the coated banana pieces into the hot oil using tongs or a slotted spoon. Fry in small batches to avoid overcrowding the pot.
Fry the bananas for about 2-3 minutes, flipping occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Repeat with the remaining banana pieces until all are fried.
Optional: Dust with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness and drizzle with honey or chocolate sauce before serving.
Serve the deep-fried bananas warm and enjoy!
