Ingredients:
oil ( for deep frying, olive oil is typically used)
1 cup cornflour ( also called masa harina)
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 eggs
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons white rum
2 tablespoons milk
4 firm ripe bananas
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
Directions:
Heat oil to 375 F in a Dutch oven or deep fryer.
Mix corn flour and sugar in a bowl. Add butter, egg, salt, rum, and milk, stirring until it forms a thick batter.
Peel bananas, and cut into quarters. Mix cinnamon with brown sugar. Sprinkle half the cinnamon/ brown sugar mixture on the banana quarters.
Roll banana quarters in the batter, and drop carefully into the hot oil, a few at a time. Fry 2 – 3 minutes on each side, turning once, until golden brown.
Drain fried bananas on paper towels and dust with remaining cinnamon/brown sugar mixture.
Continue until all banana quarters are fried and dusted. Serve warm.
