Ingredients

  • 1 litre (4 cups) vegetable oil, for deep-frying

  • 375g (2½ cups) self-raising flour

  • 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)

  • 4 firm but ripe bananas

  • 5 scoops of vanilla ice-cream

  • warmed maple or golden syrup, to serve

  • 2 tablespoons toasted pecans, roughly chopped (optional)

Method

  1. Step 1

    Pour the oil into a saucepan and place over medium heat. Heat the oil to 180°C, or until a cube of bread dropped into the oil turns golden in 15 seconds.

  2. Step 2

    Set aside 75g (½ cup) of the flour in a bowl. Sift the remaining flour and the bicarbonate of soda into a large bowl, then add 435ml (1¾ cups) water and whisk to a smooth batter.

  3. Step 3

    Peel the bananas and cut them in half widthways, then cut each piece in half lengthways. Working in batches, dust each banana piece in the flour, shaking off the excess, then dip them into the batter, draining off the excess.

  4. Step 4

    Deep-fry the fritters in batches for 5–6 minutes each time, or until the batter is golden and crisp. Briefly drain n paper towels and serve hot with a scoop of ice cream, drizzled with maple syrup and sprinkled with pecans.
