Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Servings 5 People

Ingredients

  • Banana
  • 200 gr Rice Flour
  • 2 tbsp Cornstarch
  • 3 tbsp Butter
  • 2 tbsp Light Brown Sugar
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1½ cup Ice water

Instructions

  1. Prepare a medium-sized bowl, peel the bananas, and discard the skins.

  2. Slice the bananas lengthwise into 4 sections, but ensure the ends remain connected (forming a fan shape). Place them in the container and repeat these steps until all bananas are done. 

  3. Prepare another bowl, dissolve all the ingredients for the batter in cold water. Stir until well mixed. Cover the batter container with plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator. 

  4. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. 

  5. Once the batter has cooled, stir it again. 

  6. Dip the bananas into the batter, spreading them to maintain the fan shape until the entire surface is covered. Fry the bananas in hot oil until both sides are golden brown.

Recipe Notes

  • For a crispier batter, separate the egg white and yolk. Beat the egg white until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the batter just before frying.

  • To create the signature "fan" shape, slice the bananas diagonally from the stem end towards the blossom end, stopping about an inch from the bottom. Gently spread the slices open slightly to resemble a fan.

  • Don't overcrowd the pan while frying. Fry the fritters in batches to ensure even cooking and prevent them from sticking together.

  • Adjust the frying time based on the thickness of your banana slices.
