Malaysian Banana Fritters

Prep Time: 20m | Cook Time: 15m | Servings: 8

Ingredients

• 3 overripe bananas
• 1/8 cup water
• 3/4 cup all purpose flour (100g)
• 1/3 cup rice flour (40g)
• 1/4 cup tapioca starch
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp sugar
• High heat neutral oil for frying
• Caster sugar, to coat

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas. Add all remaining ingredients and mix well until a thick batter forms.
2. Heat a few inches of oil in a pot to 180ºC. Using a small ice cream scoop or spoon, drop balls of batter directly into the hot oil.
3. Fry for a few minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and puffed. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot.
4. Drain the fritters on paper towel. Let cool for 5 minutes, then toss in sugar if desired.
5. Serve immediately while crispy and warm.
