Banana Fritters in Tempura Batter (with Honey Sauce)
Ingredients
- 4-5 bananas
- flour for dredging bananas
- vegetable oil for deep frying
- 1 egg
- 8 oz./250 ml ice cold water
- 1/2 cup / 125 ml flour sifted with 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- honey
Instructions
Heat the oil in your deep fat fryer, frying pan, or wok to 375 degrees F, 190 degrees celsius. Mix up the batter ingredients with a whip until somewhat frothy. Cut the bananas into 1 inch / 2 1/2 cm chunks. Roll them around in the flour until lightly coated. Dip a few banana pieces into the batter and fry them until golden coloured. Drain on paper towels. Do in small batches until they're all done. Heat honey in saucepan or microwave until liquid and hot; pour this over the bananas (a few pieces per person). Extremely good with vanilla ice cream.
