Ingredients
  

4 ripe but firm bananas

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup cornstarch

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 cup cold sparkling water

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

4 tbsp unsalted butter

Oil for frying

Instructions
 

Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Gradually whisk in the cold sparkling water until smooth; set aside.

    Slice the Bananas: Peel the bananas and slice them diagonally into 1/2-inch thick pieces.

      Heat the Oil: In a deep pan or skillet, heat oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

        Coat the Bananas: Dip each banana slice into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.

          Fry the Bananas: Carefully place the coated banana slices into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid crowding. 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, melt the butter over low heat. Add the sugar and cinnamon, stirring until the sugar dissolves and the sauce is well combined. Remove from heat.

              Serve: Arrange the fried bananas on a serving plate and drizzle generously with the cinnamon butter sauce. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of extra cinnamon or some chopped nuts.
