    List of Ingredients




    Banana Fritters


    6 small half-ripe bananas

    For Batter:

    1/2 cup all-purpose flour

    2 tablespoons cornstarch

    1/4 cup granulated sugar

    1/4 teaspoon salt

    1/2 cup water

    Canola oil for deep-frying

    Powdered sugar

    Ground cinnamon



    Recipe



    Peel the bananas and cut crosswise into 3-inch lengths. Set aside.

    FOR BATTER: In a bowl, sift together the flour, cornstarch, granulated sugar and salt. Gradually add the water, stirring constantly, until the batter is smooth and thick enough to lightly coat the back of a spoon. Set aside.

    Preheat a wok or deep saucepan over medium-high heat. Pour in oil to a depth of 1 1/2 inches and heat to 375 degrees F. on a deep-frying thermometer. Add the bananas to the batter. Using long chopsticks or tongs, lift out the banana pieces one at a time, allowing the excess batter to drip off into the bowl, and carefully lower into the hot oil. Do not crowd the pan; the fruit must float freely. Deep-fry, turning often, until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Repeat with the remaining banana pieces.

    TO SERVE: Arrange the bananas on a warmed platter and dust with confectioners’ sugar and cinnamon. Serve hot
