Ingredients
  

4 ripe bananas, peeled and sliced diagonally

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup corn starch

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 cup cold sparkling water

Oil (for frying)

1/4 cup unsalted butter

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for the sauce)

Pinch of salt

Optional: whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, corn starch, baking powder, salt, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Gradually whisk in the cold sparkling water until you have a smooth batter. Set aside.

    Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or frying pan, pour enough oil to cover the bottom by about 1 inch. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

      Fry the Bananas: Dip each banana slice into the batter, allowing the excess to drip off, then carefully place them in the hot oil. Fry in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 1-2 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried bananas to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

        Make the Cinnamon Butter Sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the brown sugar, vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir continuously until the sugar has dissolved and the sauce is smooth. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened.

          Serve: Stack the fried bananas on a serving plate and drizzle with the warm cinnamon butter sauce. Optional: serve with a scoop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream on the side for extra indulgence.
