Had a hankering for banana fritters last night.

 

Sweet indulgence

 

Batter

3/4 cup plain flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

pinch of salt

150mls ice cold water

tablespoon vege oil (I used grapeseed oil)

 

1 banana cut into 4 pieces

small saucepan filled to 1/3rd with grapeseed oil (or any vege oil)

castor sugar and desiccated coconut mix

Icecream

maple syrup

 

Oil has to be very hot - test it is ready by dropping a small pea sized bit of batter into the oil. If it bubbles to the top immediately it is ready. Gently put the battered banana pieces into the oil

 

Fry for about  5 mins, turning them so they are evenly browned

 

Remove bananas from the oil and put on paper towel to drain off excess oil then roll in sugar coconut mix

 

Serve with ice cream and maple syrup for very sweet indulgence

 

 

 

 

 

Save leftover batter covered in the fridge and use to batter fish or chicken or pineapple or sausages

haha Thanks Afton

 

I made fried chicken with the left over batter.

 

Ramped up the batter with some fresh herbs, paprika, cayenne pepper and black pepper then soaked the chicken pieces in a sugar and salt brine for an hour before battering, frying and serving with a small green salad and home made honey and mustard dipping sauce and a few chips

you're living large @ Petal, yet simple. Looks very tasty, as does the fritters.
