Fritters

Fritters are one of the favorites for afternoon tea. The most popular of the fruits used is the banana. Cempedak fried in this way is delicious. Sweet potato and taro(yam) although not a fruit, fry very well with this batter.



Ingredients:

1/2 cup self-raising flour
1/4 cup corn flour
1 tbsp rice flour
Pinch of salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
180ml water or just enough
1½ tbsp oil
3 bananas, halved
2 large sweet potatoes, cut into slices
1/2 small taro(yam), cut into slices
Enough oil for deep-frying

Method:

Combine the various flours, salt and baking powder in a mixing bowl.

Pour in water and combine into a batter. Add in oil to mix. Rest batter for 1/2 hour.

Coat banana halves, sweet potato and taro slices in batter and deep-fry in hot oil until crispy and golden brown.
