Ingredients
  

4 ripe but firm bananas

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup cornstarch

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 cup milk (or non-dairy milk)

2 tablespoons sugar

Vegetable oil for frying

1/4 cup unsalted butter

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

A pinch of salt

Optional: vanilla ice cream for serving

Instructions
 

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

    Make the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and sugar. Gradually whisk in the milk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. It should be thick but pourable.

      Heat the Oil: In a deep frying pan or skillet, pour enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom by about an inch. Heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

        Fry the Bananas: Working in batches, dip each banana slice into the batter, ensuring it's well coated. Carefully place them into the hot oil, frying until golden brown on both sides (about 2-3 minutes per side). Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried bananas to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

          Prepare the Cinnamon Butter Sauce: In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is bubbly and slightly thickened.

            Serve: Arrange the fried bananas on a plate. Drizzle the warm cinnamon butter sauce over the top. For an extra indulgent touch, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
