4 bananas
2 C. oil for deep frying
Batter: 1 egg — slightly beaten
4 Tbsp. cornstarch
5 Tbsp. flour
6 Tbsp. cold water
Frosting: 2/3 C. sugar
1/3 C. water
1/4 Tsp. vinegar or lemon juice
1 Tsp. oil
Cut each banana into 5 long diagonal pieces after peeling. Sprinkle some flour on bananas until well coated. Blend batter ingredients well and toss bananas in batter to coat. Heat oil and place batter-coated bananas in oil, frying until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towel. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a small saucepan; add sugar and water. Stir-fry over low heat until it is like syrup and when poured makes a thread. Add the bananas and mix carefully. Serve immediately. (The serving plate should be brushed with some oil.) Note: To make coating extra crisp, serve with a container of cold water. Dip each section briefly into cold water just before eating.
