Fried Bananas

Great on their own or server over vanilla ice cream!

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ½ tsp baking soda
• salt
• 2 TBL sugar
• 1 egg
• 6 TBL water
• 2 TBL shredded coconut or sesame seeds
• 4 firm bananas, preferably yellow with green tips
• Oil, for deep frying
• 2 TBL honey, for serving

Sift flour, baking soda and a pinch of salt into a bowl. Stir in sugar. Whisk in egg and just enough water to make a thin batter. Whisk in coconut or sesame seeds.

Peel bananas, cut in half lengthwise, then across horizontally. Heat oil in a wok or deep kettle. Dip bananas in batter, then drop gently into hot oil a few pieces at a time. Fry until golden brown.

Remove banans from oil and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with honey on the side for dipping.

Serves 4
