You need:
200 ml of wheat flour
1 teaspoon of baking soda
180 ml of ice-cold water
20 ml of dark rum (optional to make the bananas extra crispy)
2 large semi-ripe bananas
Sunflower oil or another type of neutral oil for frying
How you make it:
Peel and cut the banana into bite-size pieces.
Heat up oil in a large pot, until it reaches 180 degrees Celsius.
Mix together the flour, baking soda and ice-cold water and the optional rum into a smooth consistency.
Dip the banana pieces in the frying batter and shake off any excess batter before carefully adding them to the hot oil.
Fry the banana piece, a couple at a time, until lightly golden brown.
Set aside on a rack or kitchen paper and let them cool slightly.
Serve warm with a drizzle of syrup and your favourite vegan ice cream.
