Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces Bananas
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons White sugar
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 0.25 cup Water
- 2 cups Oil for frying
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
Peel the bananas and cut them into halves lengthwise, then slice each half into 2-4 pieces depending on size preference.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and white sugar.
Gradually stir in the milk and water to create a smooth, thick batter.
Heat the oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium heat to approximately 350°F (175°C).
Dip each banana slice into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated, and carefully place them into the hot oil.
Fry the banana slices in small batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, cooking for about 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried bananas onto a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the brown sugar with a few drops of water to create a syrup. Optionally, stir in cinnamon for additional flavor.
Drizzle the warm syrup over the fried bananas before serving.
Serve the fried bananas immediately on their own or pair with vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat.
