Ingredients

  • 2 cups rice flour
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tsp active dry yeast
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 ripe banana, mashed
  • About 1 ¼ cups warm water
  • Cooking oil, for deep frying

Method

  1. Mix the rice flour, sugar, yeast and salt in a bowl.
  2. Stir in the banana and enough warm water to make a thick, smooth batter that drops slowly from a spoon.
  3. Cover and leave in a warm place for 1½ to 2 hours until bubbly.
  4. Heat the oil to about 170°C (340°F). Drop in spoonfuls of batter and fry, turning, for 3 to 4 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  5. Drain on paper and eat warm.

Gluten-free check: Use rice flour and yeast labelled gluten-free. Fry in fresh oil that has not been used for wheat fritters.
