Ingredients
  

4 ripe bananas (preferably slightly firm)

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup cornstarch

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

1/2 cup cold sparkling water

Oil for frying (vegetable or coconut oil works well)

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

A pinch of salt (to taste)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bananas: Peel the bananas and cut them diagonally into thick slices, about 1-inch wide.

    Make the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar. Gradually whisk in the cold sparkling water until you have a smooth, thick batter.

      Heat the Oil: Fill a large skillet with about 1 inch of oil and heat it over medium-high heat. To test if the oil is ready, drop a small spoonful of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and rise to the surface.

        Fry the Bananas: Dip each banana slice into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off. Carefully place them in the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

          Make the Cinnamon Butter Sauce: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Stir in the cinnamon, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened and fragrant.

            Serve: Arrange the fried banana slices on a serving platter and drizzle generously with the warm cinnamon butter sauce. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
