Let’s Get Cookin’!
Here’s how you make those delicious tempura fritters step-by-step:
Step 1: Prep the Bananas
Start by peeling the bananas and slicing them into bite-sized pieces or strips. You want them thick enough to hold up but thin enough to fry nicely—think about the perfect balance!
Step 2: Make the Batter
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and baking powder. Gradually add the cold water to create a smooth batter. You want it to be thick enough to coat the bananas but not so thick that it clumps!
Step 3: Heat the Oil
In a deep pan, heat your oil over medium-high heat until it’s hot but not smoking—you can test it by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle right away!
Step 4: Fry ‘Em Up!
Dip each banana piece into the batter, making sure it’s fully coated. Carefully drop them into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid crowding the pan. Fry until they’re golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
Step 5: Drain and Serve
Once they’re golden and crispy, remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel to soak up any excess oil. You can also dust them with powdered sugar for that extra touch of sweetness!
That’s it, fam! Serve these at your next gathering or keep ‘em all to yourself. Either way, you’re in for a treat! Enjoy your delicious banana tempura fritters!
