Serves 4

groundnut oil
260g self-raising flour
1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
360ml water
4 Bananas – Peeled and halved
130g All purpose flour

Instructions

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.
