How to Make Fried Bananas
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 large egg, 1/2 cup milk, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until a smooth batter forms. Let the batter rest for at least 1 hour (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for a crispier result).
- Peel 3-4 firm ripe bananas (such as plantains or even firm Cavendish bananas). Cut each banana lengthwise in half, then slice across into 3-inch pieces.
- Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure accurate temperature.
- Gently dip each banana piece into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated. Carefully place the battered banana pieces into the hot oil, avoiding overcrowding the pan.
- Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use tongs to gently turn the banana pieces.
- Remove the fried bananas from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve warm! Drizzle with your favorite topping, such as real maple syrup, powdered sugar, or honey, for an extra touch of sweetness.
