Ingredients
- 100g/4oz plain flour
- 1โ2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons desiccated or shredded coconut
- 4 firm bananas vegetable oil for deep-frying
- 2 tablespoons clear honey
- vanilla ice cream, to serve (optional)
Instructions
- Sift the flour, bicarbonate of soda and a pinch of salt into a bowl. Stir in
the sugar. Whisk in the egg and just enough water (you will need about
6 tablespoons, added a tablespoon at a time) to make a thin batter.
Whisk in the coconut. - Heat enough oil for deep-frying in a preheated wok.
- Peel the bananas. Carefully cut each one in half lengthways, then cut in
half widthways. Dip in the batter, then gently drop a few pieces at a
time into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown. - Remove the bananas from the oil using a slotted spoon, and drain on
kitchen paper. Serve immediately with honey drizzled over and some
vanilla ice cream, if you like.
