Crispy Fried Banana Fritters Recipe

Fried banana fritters or also known as “Pisang goreng” in Malaysia. It is a snack food made of bananas being deep fried in hot cooking oil. In Malaysia, “pisang goreng” is usually sold by street vendors.

In Sydney, it is now “banana season”! The prices of bananas have gone down to as low as 80 cents a kilogram.

I have bought some and decided to make fried banana fritters for tea. I prefer to have my fritters crispy. Please allow me to share with you this simple recipe.

Ingredients

1 cup rice flour

2 tbsp corn flour 

2 tbsp butter 

½ tsp salt

½ to ¾ cup of cold water

 

Oil

½ tsp ammonium bicarbonate

 

Procedure

Mix rice flour, corn flour, butter, salt and water. Whisk the batter till smooth without lumps.

Prepare a wok or pot. Add sufficient oil for deep frying.

Once the oil is ready for frying, add 1 tbsp of hot oil and ammonium bicarbonate (for crispiness) into the batter. Stir and mix well.

 

Coat both sides of banana fritters in the batter and deep fry until light golden brown.

Remove and drain on kitchen paper towels. Serve warm.
