Ingredients
Serves: 4
Prep Time: 10minutes
Cook time: 10minutes
- 4 ripe bananas
Batter ingredients:
- 120g plain flour
- 60g cornflour
- 1tsp baking powder
- 1tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 200ml cold water
- 2 tsp vanilla bean paste
- Neutral oil, for deep frying
To serve:
- 4 tbsp roasted white sesame seeds
- Golden syrup
Method
Heat 1 ½ inches of oil in a large, deep-sided pan to 175°C.
In a mixing bowl, combine all the batter ingredients and whisk until you get a smooth batter.
Peel and split the banana lengthways. Then cut them into 2-inch chunks.
Dip each banana slice into the batter, ensuring it's well coated, then carefully place it into the hot oil.
Fry the fritters on both sides for 2-3 minutes until they are golden in colour and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
To serve, drizzle the banana fritters with golden syrup and sprinkle with the sesame seeds.
