Crispy Bananas (Printable Version)

# Ingredients:
01 -
4 ripe bananas, the softer the better
02 -
Oil, to fry in
→ Coating Mix
03 -
1 white from a large egg
04 -
1/2 cup sifted plain flour
05 -
1/4 cup of corn flour
06 -
1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
07 -
1/2 cup of icy-cold water
08 -
1 tablespoon of cooking oil
# Steps:
01 -
Slice the bananas into chunks roughly 1 inch (2.5 cm) long. Keep them aside for later use.
02 -
Combine everything listed under 'Coating Mix' in a large mixing bowl. Stir the batter until it's smooth. Add the banana chunks gently to the batter, coating them evenly.
03 -
Pour 2–3 inches (5–7 cm) of oil into a small pot and turn the heat to high. Check if it's ready by looking for a fine swirl of smoke above the surface.
04 -
Place the battered banana pieces carefully into the hot oil. Fry them in smaller batches, flipping each piece so they cook to a crispy, golden-brown finish on both sides.
05 -
Take out the crispy banana pieces using a slotted spoon and lay them on a paper towel-lined plate to soak up any extra oil. Continue frying the rest. Serve hot with powdered sugar, chocolate sauce, or maple syrup.
# Notes:
