Instructions

1.
Prepare the cinnamon sugar: In a small bowl, combine cinnamon and granulated sugar. Set aside.
2.
Prepare the batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, rice flour, sugar, salt, baking powder (if using), and vanilla extract.
3.
Gradually add water to the dry ingredients, whisking until you have a smooth batter. The consistency should be similar to pancake batter – thick enough to coat the bananas but not too thick.
4.
Heat vegetable oil in a large frying pan or wok over medium heat. The oil should be deep enough to submerge the banana slices.
5.
Peel the bananas and cut them into slices (about 1/2 inch thick) or halve/quarter them lengthwise.
6.
Dip each banana slice into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated.
7.
Carefully place the battered banana slices into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches.
8.
Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
9.
Remove the fried bananas with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
10.
While still warm, sprinkle the Pisang Goreng with cinnamon sugar.
11.
Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tips

For extra crispiness, use ice-cold water when making the batter.

Don't overcrowd the pan when frying; this will lower the oil temperature and result in soggy fritters.

Adjust the amount of sugar in the batter and cinnamon sugar to your desired level of sweetness.

Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
