Fried bananas

Ingredients:
  • 100g/4oz plain flour
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
  • pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons desiccated or
  • shredded coconut
  • 4 firm bananas
  • vegetable oil for deep-frying
  • 2 tablespoons clear honey
  • vanilla ice cream, to serve (optional)



• Sift the flour, bicarbonate of soda and a pinch of salt into a bowl. Stir inthe sugar. Whisk in the egg and just enough water (you will need about6 tablespoons, added a tablespoon at a time) to make a thin batter.
Whisk in the coconut.

• Heat enough oil for deep-frying in a preheated wok.

• Peel the bananas. Carefully cut each one in half lengthways, then cut inhalf widthways. Dip in the batter, then gently drop a few pieces at atime into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown.

• Remove the bananas from the oil using a slotted spoon, and drain onkitchen paper. Serve immediately with honey drizzled over and somevanilla ice cream, if you like.
