A lighter Asian-style banana fritter that is less calorie-dense and still satisfies your sweet tooth.
Ingredients
4 to 5big ripe bananas, cut into 1-inch chunks
Oil for deep frying
Powdered sugar(honey, or maple syrup to serve with)
Batter
1/2cupall-purpose flour
1/2cupcornstarch
2tablespoonsmilk(or plant-based milk for a vegan dish)
1tablespoonbutter, melted
1tablespoongranulated sugar
1/2cupwater
Instructions
Combine all the ingredients for the batter in a big bowl. Stir to mix well. It should form a runny batter similar in consistency to a pancake batter.
Heat 1 inch of oil in a small deep pot over medium-high heat until hot. Test the oil by inserting a wooden chopstick. If the oil sizzles and you can see small bubbles rising rapidly on the chopstick, the oil is ready.
Line a large plate or baking sheet with a cooling rack. Add the chopped bananas into the batter, a few pieces at a time, and coat well. Gently transfer the bananas into the oil. Fry until all sides turn golden brown. Transfer onto the cooling rack to drain the extra oil. Fry all the bananas this way in batches.
Wait until the bananas cool down slightly. They will continue to crisp.
Serve hot with powdered sugar, honey, or maple syrup.
