Fried Bananas (Banana Enrolada)

This is posted for the World Tour 05 RecipeZaar event. I haven't tried this particular recipe yet, but I love fried bananas. This is a recipe from the Cape Verde Islands as written in The Africa Cookbook - Tastes of A Continent by Jessica B. Harris.

• Ready In: 21 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

•  oil (for deep frying, olive oil is typically used)
• 1  cup cornflour (also called masa harina)
• 1⁄4 cup sugar
• 1  tablespoon butter, melted
• 1  egg
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 2  tablespoons white rum
• 2  tablespoons milk
• 4  firm ripe bananas
• 1  teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2  tablespoons dark brown sugar

Directions

1. Heat oil to 375°F in a Dutch oven or deep fryer.
2. Mix corn flour and sugar in a bowl. Add butter, egg, salt, rum, and milk, stirring until it forms a thick batter.
3. Peel bananas, and cut into quarters. Mix cinnamon with brown sugar. Sprinkle half the cinnamon/ brown sugar mixture on the banana quarters.
4. Roll banana quarters in the batter, and drop carefully into the hot oil, a few at a time. Fry 2 - 3 minutes on each side, turning once, until golden brown.
5. Drain fried bananas on paper towels and dust with remaining cinnamon/brown sugar mixture.
6. Continue until all banana quarters are fried and dusted. Serve warm.
