Ingredients
- 1⁄2 cup (60 g) all-purpose flour
- 1⁄4 cup (38 g) rice flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1⁄4 tsp salt
- 1 cup plus 2 tsp (250 ml) water
- 1 large egg, beaten
- Rice bran, canola or grapeseed oil, as needed
- 6 large ripe bananas, peeled and cut into halves or thirds
Directions
- In a medium bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, rice flour, baking powder and salt until they are well combined.
- Whisk in the water and egg until the batter is smooth. The batter should have the consistency of pancake batter, and it should run off a spoon in a continuous ribbon. Leave the batter to rest for 15 minutes.
- In the meantime, heat the oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium-high heat. Dip each piece of banana into the batter and ensure it is coated completely.
- Add the banana pieces to the oil and fry them for 1 to 2 minutes, or until they are golden brown, rotating them every 30 seconds to achieve even browning
