Ingredients
  

Crispy Rice Flour Batter

  • 240 g fine rice flour
  • 1 tbsp tapioca starch
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup ice cold water
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Other

  • 5 firm bananas
  • neutral oil, for deep frying

Instructions
 

  • Cut bananas in half and then make a few length-way slits from the cut side towards the end of the banana but do not cut all the way through, then you can fan out the banana for a more traditional shape (see pictures)
  • Mix all batter ingredients in a bowl until you have a thick batter. Heat a few inches of oil in a saucepan until hot (180ºC or until a wooden chopstick 'fizzes' when dipped). Take one piece of banana and dip into the batter to coat and immediately transfer to the oil. Fry 1-2 pieces at a time for 4-5 minutes until it turns golden brown. Serve with extra powdered sugar.
