3. 3Step 3: Whisk together all pisang goreng batter in a mixing bowl.
4. 4Step 4: Once the oil is hot, scoop 1 tablespoon of hot oil and add to the batter, whisk again.
5. 5Step 5: Coat the bananas with batter and deep-fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. At around 2 minutes into frying, drop batter in drips into the hot oil to make plenty of batter droplets, then quickly coat the bananas with the resulting crispy bits. This creates an additional layer to ensure your resulting pisang goreng stays crispy for longer.
