in a deep mixing bowl. Make a well in the middle of the flour, and
add egg, sugar and salt. Add water little by little. Whisk
vigorously until batter is evenly smooth for coating and not too
thin. If it is too thin, add more flour. |

plantain or banana and cut in half lengthwise and then cut again
with 4-inch width. Dip into batter to coat generously. |

and crispy. This usually take approximately 10-15 minutes. Remove
bananas from oil, drain on paper napkins and dry well. |
