Brazilian Breaded Deep-fried Bananas

I love this way of cooking bananas. Served with a Brazilian black bean stew or eaten as a snack these are always delicious.
Ingredients
- 5 ripe but firm bananas (If using plantains instead, make sure that they are very ripe. Regular bananas are actually the best choice for this recipe) shopping list
- 1 cup all-purpose flour or whole wheat flour shopping list
- 1 teaspoon salt shopping list
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten shopping list
- 1-2 teaspoon(s) milk or water (for a dairy-free version) - More milk or water mixed in with the beaten eggs will make the coating thinner shopping list
- 1 cup bread crumbs shopping list
- vegetable oil (enough to completely cover the bananas) shopping list
How to make it
- In a deep-fry machine or heavy-bottom saucepan, heat the oil to 350ºF (180ºC). While oil is heating, peel the bananas, remove the stringy parts that cling to the peeled fruit, and cut crosswise in half.
- Mix the salt with the flour, and dredge the banana halves in it: that is, drag each banana half through the dry ingredients to get an even coating on it. Shake to remove excess flour. Next, soak the banana halves in the beaten eggs mixed with milk or water.
- Finally, cover the banana halves in bread crumbs.
- Fry each half until lightly golden (it is important not to overcrowd the pan). Remove with a slotted spoon. Place on a plate lined with a double layer of paper towels. Serve warm.
