What do you do when you really want hot sweet food and all your other half can offer is banana and custard? Why, you remember that you cleaned the deep fat fryer at the weekend and you go searching the Internet…

This recipe is so depressingly simple, that I actually feel guilty about posting it here. You’ll need:

• Some bananas, cut into chunks
• 1 cup of sifted plain flour
• 1 cup ice cold fizzy water
• 1 medium egg
• A little agarve nectar or light runny honey

Now, are you ready for this horribly complicated one?

• Set the deep fat fryer to 180c / 350f
• Beat the egg
• Add the water to the egg
• Gently add the flour to the eggy water, mixing gently and not caring too much about lumpy bits
• Once the fat is up to temperature, dip the banana bits in the batter and put them in the fryer
• About 2 minutes later, scoop the bits out of the fryer and let them rest on kitchen paper
• Put them in a bowl and drizzle with the agarve nectar
• Eat…
