Ingredients:

2 cups self-raising flour
300g
1 tsp baking soda
5g
1/3 cup sparkling water
72g
1/2 cup dried coconut meat
72g
1/3 cup peanut oil
72g
3 bananas
360g
1 cup brown sugar
230g
1/2 cup light sour cream
120g
1/2 cup butter
110g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Peel and mash the bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Set aside.
- Melt the butter and let it cool slightly.
- Measure out all the other ingredients to have them ready for mixing.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
- In another bowl, combine the self-raising flour and baking soda. Ensure they are well mixed.
3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- To the mashed bananas, add the brown sugar, light sour cream, melted butter, and sparkling water. Mix well until all the wet ingredients are fully combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients (the flour and baking soda mix) into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; you want a slightly lumpy batter.
4. Incorporate the Coconut:
- Gently fold in the dried coconut meat into the batter until evenly distributed.
5. Heat the Oil:
- In a large skillet or deep frying pan, heat the peanut oil over medium heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking. Test it by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle immediately and begin to brown.
6. Fry the Fritters:
- Using a spoon or a small ice cream scoop, drop portions of the batter into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pan; fry the fritters in batches to ensure they cook evenly.
- Fry each fritter for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
7. Drain and Serve:
- Remove the finished fritters from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Allow them to cool slightly before serving.
8. Enjoy:
- Serve the coconut banana fritters warm. They can be enjoyed on their own or with a drizzle of honey, a sprinkle of powdered sugar, or a dollop of whipped cream for added sweetness.

Tips:

- Ensure the bananas are ripe, as they will provide more natural sweetness and a better texture for the fritters.

- Use sparkling water at room temperature to achieve a lighter and fluffier batter.

- When frying the fritters, do not overcrowd the pan. Fry them in batches to maintain the oil's temperature and ensure even cooking.

- Drain the fritters on a paper towel after frying to remove excess oil and keep them crispy.

- Serve the fritters warm for the best taste, possibly with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of honey.
