What each ingredient does
- Bananas
- Provide the sweet, soft filling that cooks inside the crisp batter coating.
- Batter
- Forms a coating that fries to a crisp, golden shell around the banana.
The step that matters
Fry in hot oil until golden brown. If the oil is not hot enough, the batter absorbs oil and turns greasy instead of crisp. Oil that is too hot browns the outside before the banana softens inside.
