Banana Fritters with coconut syrup

Serves

4

Ingredients

Coconut Syrup

• 1 cup sugar

• ½ cup Trident Light Coconut Milk

Banana Fritter

• 1 cup self-raising flour

• ¼ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

• 1 cup of water

• 4 bananas

• Oil, for deep frying

• Vanilla ice-cream, to serve

Instructions:

• To make syrup, add sugar and Trident Light Coconut Milk to a heated wok. Stir until sugar is dissolved and then simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Pour into a jug. Syrup is best made in advance to allow time to cool and thicken (can be made the day before required and stored in fridge). Wash out wok before making fritters.

• For fritters, sift flour and bicarbonate of soda into bowl, add water and mix to a smooth batter. Peel bananas, cut into three. Heat oil. Drop banana pieces into batter, drain off excess. Deep-fry in hot oil until golden brown. Remove and drain on absorbent paper.

• Serve with coconut syrup and ice-cream.
