Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Ripe bananas (e.g., Cavendish or plantains)
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 20 grams Rice flour
- 30 grams Sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 180 milliliters Water
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 30 grams Shredded coconut (optional, for garnish)
- 15 grams Powdered sugar (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Peel the bananas and slice them lengthwise into halves or quarters, depending on your preference.
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rice flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
Gradually add water to the dry ingredients while stirring to form a smooth batter with a consistency similar to pancake batter.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan or wok over medium heat until it reaches 170-180°C (340-360°F). Use a thermometer for accuracy or test by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and rise to the surface immediately.
Dip each banana slice into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.
Carefully place the battered banana slices into the hot oil. Fry in small batches to avoid overcrowding, cooking for 3-4 minutes per batch or until the fritters are golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fritters from the oil, and drain them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
If desired, garnish the fritters with shredded coconut and a sprinkle of powdered sugar for extra flavor.
Serve the Pisang Goreng warm as a snack or dessert. Enjoy!
