Brilio.net - Snack lovers certainly can't resist if there are fried bananas on the dining table. Fried bananas do have a super delicious taste, especially if eaten while drinking tea or coffee. Moreover, if the fried bananas have a crispy texture because they are made with the right dough.
However, there are still many people who feel they have failed to make it because the texture of the fried banana is only crispy for a while. This can happen because the fried banana is only processed with dough from wheat flour or instant fried banana flour.
It is no wonder that many people add a combination of other ingredients, one of which is baking soda. Reported from medicalnewstoday.com, baking soda added to the dough can react and produce carbon dioxide bubbles, so that the texture of the dough becomes much crispier.
As is usually practiced by a netizen named Heni, she admitted that she usually adds baking soda to her fried banana dough. In fact, she also has various other ingredients so that she can make fried bananas that are not only crispy, but the dough is also curly and more appetizing. So, are you curious about the trick to making it?
"I make crispy fried bananas, like this, very curly and crispy. These fried bananas are very easy, guaranteed to be fail-proof, and can also be a selling idea," she said, quoted by BrilioFood from YouTube Dapur Heni on Wednesday (25/9).
Heni explained, to produce crispy and curly fried bananas, you need to make two types of dough. The first dough must be made thick to coat the bananas. This thick dough can be made from a mixture of medium protein wheat flour, rice flour, salt, granulated sugar, baking powder, liquid margarine, vanilla, coconut milk, and water.
All of these ingredients can be stirred using a whisk until there are no more lumps of flour. After that, put the banana pieces into it. Heni also said, so that the fried banana results are more beautiful later, she sliced the bananas into a fan shape.

Next, just mix the second dough, which is a more liquid dough. In this dough, Heni explained, she did not use wheat flour at all, but used rice flour and tapioca so that the texture became much crispier than the previous dough. Then, mix it with eggs, vanilla, salt, sugar, baking powder, and water.
This liquid dough can be put into a bottle with a lid that has been given a hole. So, the dough that is put into the oil can be shaped into small, crispy curls.

Once all the dough is ready, it's time to heat a lot of oil on a frying pan using medium heat. If the oil is hot, the liquid dough must be put in first like when making kremesan. Wait until the dough is stiff, then put in the banana pieces that have been dipped in the thick dough.
After the bananas are in, immediately separate the kremes mixture using a spatula, wait until the bottom is slightly cooked, then flip the bananas. You can wait until all sides of the bananas are perfectly cooked or add more liquid mixture so that the texture is even crispier. Once cooked, the fried bananas can be immediately removed and served.
