Ingredients:
Ingredients:
- 4 ripe bananas (pisang raja or pisang kepok), peeled and cut into halves or quarters
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons rice flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup water, chilled
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
- Prepare the Batter:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rice flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to combine.
- Gradually add the chilled water to the dry ingredients, whisking until you have a smooth and lump-free batter. The batter should have a thick consistency that coats the back of a spoon.
- Heat the Oil:
- In a deep frying pan or skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use enough oil to submerge the banana fritters.
- Coat the Bananas:
- Dip each banana piece into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated on all sides.
- Fry the Pisang Goreng:
- Carefully place the coated banana pieces into the hot oil, one at a time, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
- Fry the banana fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Drain and Serve:
- Once the pisang goreng are cooked to a golden brown color, use a slotted spoon or tongs to transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Sprinkle the fried banana fritters with powdered sugar while they are still warm.
- Serve the Indonesian-inspired pisang goreng immediately as a delicious dessert or snack, savoring the crispy exterior and sweet, caramelized bananas with every bite!
