Ingredients
- 3 medium ripe bananas
- ½ cup rice flour
- ¼ cup tapioca starch
- ½ cup sparkling water or club soda
- 2 cups neutral cooking oil for frying
- ¼ cup sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- 1
Peel bananas and slice them diagonally into 0.5-inch-thick pieces.
- 2
Whisk rice flour, tapioca starch, and a pinch of salt in a bowl until combined.
- 3
Pour sparkling water into the flour mixture and stir until you have a thin, smooth batter with no lumps.
- 4
Heat oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (175°C) — water flicked into the pan should sizzle immediately without smoking.
- 5
Working in batches, dip banana slices into batter, tap off excess, and slide into hot oil. Fry 2–3 minutes per side until deep golden brown and edges curl slightly.
- 6
Lift fritters onto a paper towel. Drizzle warm condensed milk over the top and serve immediately.
