List of Ingredients
4 large ripe bananas
25g / 1oz sugar
5 tbsp dark rum
oil
for the batter:
75 g / 3oz plain flour
pinch of salt
1 tbsp olive oil
150 ml / 1/4 pint water
2 egg whites
to serve:
vanilla sugar
cinammonRecipe
Peel the bananas and then cut them diagonally into slices, about 1/2 inch thick. Place them in a shallow dish and sprinkle with sugar. Pour the rum over the top and set aside for 1.5 hours, turning from time to time.
Meanwhile, make the batter: sift the flour and salt together into a bowl. Make a well in the centre and gradually mix in the oil and water. Mix to a smooth batter and leave to stand for 1 hour.
Just before the batter is needed, beat the egg whites stiffly and then lightly fold them into the batter. Drain the banana slices and dip them into the batter so that they are completely coated.
Heat the oil for deep frying and when very hot, fry the banana pieces, a few at a time, until golden brown on both sides. Drain on absorbent kitchen paper. Serve the fritters really hot, sprinkled with vanilla sugar and cinammon.
