Ingredients

3 ripe over-ripe bananas, peeled
70g all-purpose flour
1 tbsp cornflour
1 tbsp sugar or to taste
2 tbsp cinnamon
Oil, for deep frying

Method

Preparation

• Use a fork to mash the bananas until they are smooth, with a few chunky bits.

• Add in the flour, the cornstarch and the sugar and mix those together with a whisk.

Cooking

• In a wok, get the oil to a medium high heat, place a cooling rack on a tray for draining the oil from the fritters after frying.

• Scoop the batter up using a tablespoon, and use another tablespoon to scrape it off into the oil. Add a few scoops to the oil, being careful not to over-crowd the wok.

• The fritters won’t be shaped perfectly, but that just adds to the crisp. Keep turning them over in the oil until golden brown.

• Then pop them onto the tray to cool and repeat the frying process until your batter is finished. Mix the cinnamon into a bowl of sugar. While the dumplings are still warm, dip them in the sugar and coat them all over.
