Ingredients
- 5 Bananas, cut into small chunks
- 2 tbsp Powdered sugar, for topping
- 1 cup Plain flour
- 1 Egg
- Pinch of salt

Instructions
- Make the batter by sifting the flour and salt in to a bowl with a tablespoon of cooking oil and small amount of milk. Mix well, add more milk and beat to a coating consistency.
- Add egg, whisk and mix into the batter.
- Dip each chunk of banana into the batter using a long pointed stick or fork, hold over the bowl for a few seconds to allow excess batter to drain off.
- On medium heat, deep fry the bananas for 2 to 3 minutes, until crisp and golden, turning them once. Drain them on paper towels and transfer them to a serving platter. Repeat the process until all of the bananas have been fried.
- Serve hot, sprinkled with powdered sugar.

Notes
- While Banana Fritters are traditionally fried, they can be baked.
- Fried banana is different from Banana Fritters because they are fried whole after being coated in batter.
