Sig's Deep-fried Bananas in Almond Batter

Sift flour,bicarbonate of soda and salt into large bowl

Stir in the sugar and the egg

Whisk in just enough water to make a thin batter

Add the almonds or coconut and mix well

Peel bananas,half lengthways,then cut in half crossways to make 16 pieces, do this only when ready to fry,as bananas can discolour quick

Heat oil to high temperature, a cube of bread should brown in 45 seconds

Dip the banana pieces in the batter,gently drop them into the oil,a few at the time,fry until golden.brown

Drain on kitchen paper, to serve drizzle with honey and decorate with mint leaves
