Crispy and Sweet: A Guide to Making Perfect Pisang Goreng

What is Pisang Goreng?

Pisang goreng is a popular Indonesian dessert made from bananas that are coated in a sweet batter and deep-fried.

Ingredients for Pisang Goreng Batter:

• 1 cup rice flour
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions to Make the Batter:

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the rice flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
2. Gradually add water while whisking until a smooth batter forms, similar to pancake batter.

Instructions to Fry the Pisang Goreng:

1. Heat cooking oil in a large pot or deep fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Dip the bananas in the batter, making sure they are fully coated.
3. Carefully drop the bananas into the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
4. Remove the bananas from the oil and drain on paper towels.

Tips for Perfect Pisang Goreng:

• Use ripe bananas for the best flavor.
• Don't overmix the batter, as this will make the pisang goreng tough.
• Fry the pisang goreng in small batches to avoid overcrowding the pot.
• Serve the pisang goreng hot with your favorite toppings, such as condensed milk, chocolate sauce, or grated coconut.
