Ingredients
  

4 ripe bananas, peeled and sliced diagonally into thick pieces

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup cornstarch

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, plus extra for garnish

1/2 cup water (adjust as needed)

Vegetable oil for frying

1/2 cup unsalted butter

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. Gradually add water while mixing until you achieve a smooth, thick batter that coats the back of a spoon.

    Heat the Oil: In a deep frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat (about 350°F or 175°C). To test if it’s hot enough, drop a little batter in – if it sizzles and rises to the top, the oil is ready.

      Coat and Fry Bananas: Dip each banana slice into the batter and gently place it in the hot oil. Fry in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

        Make the Cinnamon Butter Sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a gentle simmer, letting it bubble and thicken for about 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat. Stir in the remaining cinnamon.

          Serve: Arrange the fried bananas on a plate and drizzle generously with the warm cinnamon butter sauce. Optionally, sprinkle with a little extra cinnamon for garnish.

            Enjoy: Serve immediately while warm, and enjoy this delightful treat as a dessert or snack!
