Step by step guide to Perfect Muz Kızartması
The secret is not the oil temperature. It’s the coating. If you don’t add cornstarch, the batter slides off. If you use too much flour, it will be heavy. This is the right way.
1. Mix the wet and dry base
Combine the flour, baking powder, vanilla sugar, water and milk in a bowl. Do this until it is smooth. There are no lumps. Mix well if you are in a hurry. You don’t need a mixer.
2. Prepare the bananas
Peel the banana. Cut each piece into 4 pieces. This makes them bite-sized and cook evenly. Smaller pieces mean the outside is crispier exterior relative to the interior.
3. Starch coating
First, Toss the banana pieces with the cornstarch. Apply lightly. This creates a barrier. Prevents moisture from leaking out into the batter quickly.
4. Dip in the batter
Put the starch-coated bananas into the milk and flour mixture. Let them coat completely. Shake off the excess batter. You want thin layer, not thick cakes.
5. Fry until golden
Heat the sunflower oil in a pan. It should be hot, there should be no smoke. Add the bananas and fry until golden brown on all sides. This takes about 2-3 minutes. Remove them and drain on paper towels.
6. Serve immediately
This dish does not wait. Put the fried bananas on a plate. Drizzle with honey while hot. Add 1 scoop of vanilla ice cream. Finally, drizzle of chocolate sauce.
