Ingredients

Batter

  • 2 cups self-rising flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/2 cups water

To Cook

  • oil to deep fry
  • 4 bananas
  • extra flour for dusting
  • caramel sauce to drizzle

Equipment

  • bowl
  • whisk
  • Dutch oven

Directions

Batter

  • Combine the flour, baking soda, and water in a bowl. Whisk until smooth to make a batter.

To Cook

  • Preheat the oil in the deep fryer to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
  • Cut the bananas in half longways, then in half short ways to get 4 even pieces per banana.
    Tip: Cutting the bananas at the last possible moment helps stop them from going brown, which can happen very quickly.
  • Dust the bananas in the flour.
  • Dip the flour dusted bananas in the batter, then gently place them into the oil in the Dutch oven.
  • Cook until the underside is lightly brown then roll to cook the other side, about 5 minutes per side. Cook in small batches so as to not cool the oil. When the second side is light brown, remove the banana fritter to a paper towel to rest.
  • Place on the serving plate then drizzle with the caramel sauce to serve.
