• 1 cup glutinous rice flour

• 2 tsp baking powder

• 1 tsp baking soda

• 1 tbsp sugar

• 1 tsp salt

• 1/2 cup water

4. Peel all the bananas. Slice in fourths. Put them in the batter and coat them.

5. Once the oil is hot, Drop the bananas into the oil. Leave some space between them so they don't stick together.

6. Deep-fry the bananas until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Turn over halfway through.

7. Remove bananas and drain on a paper towel-lined wire rack to remove excess oil. They are best when served immediately.
