| groundnut oil | |
| 260g self-raising flour | |
| 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda | |
| 360ml water | |
| 4 Bananas – Peeled and halved | |
| 130g All purpose flour |
| 1. | Heat enough oil in a wok or deep-sided saucepan so you can deep-fry the bananas, to 170°C (340°F). |
| 2. | Sift the self-raising flour into a large bowl, add the bicarbonate of soda and the water and mix to form a smooth batter. Lightly dust the bananas in plain flour, then dip into the batter to coat and carefully drop into the oil. Deep-fry for around 6–8 minutes, until golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack or a plate lined with kitchen paper to drain. |
| 3. | Divide between four plates, drizzle over the golden syrup and add a scoop of ice cream to serve. |
