Ingredients
- 4 medium ripe bananas
- 120 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 180 milliliters milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 500 milliliters vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Directions
Step 1
Peel and slice the bananas into halves, then again in half lengthwise so you have four pieces per banana.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt.
Step 3
Gradually whisk in the milk and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth and slightly thick.
Step 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F). Use a thermometer to ensure the correct temperature.
Step 5
Dip each banana piece into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.
Step 6
Carefully place the coated banana pieces into the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Step 7
Fry the bananas for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried bananas from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 9
Sprinkle the fried bananas with powdered sugar before serving.
Step 10
Serve the crispy fried bananas warm as a delightful dessert or snack.
