Ingredients
Scale:
4 ripe bananas
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold water
Vegetable oil for frying
1/2 cup honey
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Start by preparing the bananas. Peel and slice them diagonally into thick pieces, about 1-inch wide.
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually whisk in the cold water until the batter is smooth.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot (around 350°F), dip each banana slice into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated.
Carefully place the battered banana slices into the hot oil, frying them in batches for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried bananas and place them on a paper towel-lined plate.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the honey, butter, and vanilla extract. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth.
Drizzle the honey sauce over the warm fried bananas or serve it on the side for dipping.
Enjoy your delicious Fried Bananas in Honey Sauce warm, garnished with a sprinkle of nuts or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
