👩🍳 Instructions
- 1 Peel the horn bananas, then slice lengthwise into 3-4 thin pieces or cut diagonally as you prefer. Set aside.
- 2 In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, rice flour, cornstarch, sugar, salt, baking powder, and vanilla powder. Stir until well combined.
- 3 Pour in the ice water little by little while whisking until the batter becomes thick but still pourable (don't make it too runny).
- 4 Let the batter rest for 10 minutes so the baking powder can activate and give a crispier result.
- 5 Heat cooking oil in a pan over medium heat, making sure there's enough oil to fully submerge the bananas (for deep frying).
- 6 Dip the banana pieces into the batter until evenly coated on all sides.
- 7 Fry the bananas in the hot oil over medium-low heat so they cook evenly without burning on the outside too quickly.
- 8 While frying, occasionally ladle hot oil over the top of the bananas so the crispy texture forms evenly all around.
- 9 Remove the fried bananas once they turn golden brown and look crisp and dry, then drain on a rack or paper towels.
- 10 Serve while warm, topped with powdered sugar, grated cheese, or drizzled melted chocolate as you like.
💡 Tips
• Use horn bananas that are truly ripe (with yellowish-brown skin) so their sweetness comes out fully when fried.
• Make sure the water you use is truly ice-cold, since the cold temperature helps the batter turn out crispier and absorb less oil.
• Avoid flipping the bananas too often while frying so the batter coating doesn't fall off and stays evenly crispy.
• For extra crispiness, add a bit more rice flour relative to the all-purpose flour, since rice flour gives a longer-lasting crunch.
