Toffee Bananas

Ingredients

4 bananas
2 c oil for deep-frying
1 egg
4 tbsp cornstarch
5 tbsp flour
6 tbsp water
5/8 c sugar
3/8 c water
1/4 tsp vinegar
1 tsp oil

Instructions

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.
