How to Make Beijing Banana Toffee Deep Fried Bananas
- Peel the bananas and cut them into 1-inch thick slices.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and cinnamon.
- Dip each banana slice into the flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. The oil is ready when a small piece of batter sizzles immediately.
- Carefully place the banana slices into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
- Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the fried bananas from the oil and place them on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
- In a separate saucepan, combine the butter, brown sugar, and cream. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the sauce thickens slightly (about 3-5 minutes).
- Drizzle the toffee sauce generously over the deep-fried bananas.
- Serve immediately and enjoy! Consider adding a sprinkle of chopped nuts or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
