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:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the rice flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- Gradually add water while whisking until a smooth batter forms, similar to pancake batter.
Instructions to Fry the Pisang Goreng:
- Heat cooking oil in a large pot or deep fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Dip the bananas in the batter, making sure they are fully coated.
- Carefully drop the bananas into the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- 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.
