0 of 5

Ingredients

1/3 cup milk
2 tsp butter
1 cup sugar
2 cups of coffee
2 tbsp corn starch
2 tsp rum (optional)
2 - 3 bananas

For the batter:

1 cup of flour
1 tsp of salt
1 cup of sugar
1 egg

Method

Begin by heating the frying oil – we recommend the PremiumFry for a quick and effortless cook, or the MultiFry for a lower calorie dessert.
In a saucepan on a low heat, add the milk and butter and whisk until the milk is simmering and the butter has melted.
Add the sugar, coffee and rum. You can change the measurement amounts according to taste.
Continue whisking while adding the corn starch, until it thickens. Remove from the heat.
Make a batter out of the egg, flour, salt and sugar, whisking until smooth.
Cut the bananas into large, uniform chunks, about an inch thick.
Use a toothpick or a fork to dip the banana in the batter, ensuring a thick and even coating.
Fry until golden brown, drain the oil and serve still warm with the coffee and rum sauce.
