Description:

These ‘mini banana fritters’ have been especially made to dip into the Hot Toffee Syrup, along with fresh fruit, for a special ‘sticky treat’.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup SR flour
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/4 pineapple, peeled, cut into 2 cm chunks
• 6 bananas, cut into 2 cm chunks
• 1 punnet strawberries, leaves removed
• 1/4 pawpaw, peeled, cut into 2 cm chunks
• 2 cups oil

Hot Toffee Syrup:

• 1 cup sugar
• 2 tbsp Golden Syrup
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 tsp vanilla

Method:

1. Make fritter batter by combining flour with 1 egg and water and set aside.
2. Meanwhile, to prepare the Hot Toffee Syrup: Combine sugar, Golden Syrup, water and vanilla in a small saucepan. Bring mixture to boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat and cook over low-medium heat until a thick syrup consistency, about 5 minutes.
3. Arrange prepared fruit on ends of bamboo skewers, set aside 20 ‘banana skewers’ for the fritters and arrange remaining fruit skewers on serving platter.
4. Heat oil in a small saucepan until it bubbles up when end of a wooden spoon is dipped in.

6. Add banana fritter dippers to platter and serve with a bowl of Hot Toffee Syrup.
