Ingredients:
- 5 plantains
- 5 tbsp (50 gr) rice flour
- 4 tbsp (30 gr) cornstarch
- 80 ml water
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/2 tsp margarine
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar

How to make:

- Mix all the dough ingredients until well combined.

- Divide the bananas in half or flatten them, according to your preference.

- Heat oil over medium heat. Make sure the oil is hot before frying the bananas (the oil is hot when a little dough is poured and it floats to the surface). Fry the bananas and drizzle with 2 tbsp of the flour mixture. Always press the dough around the bananas to make it stick perfectly. Do not wait until the dough is dry because it won't stick when it's already dry.

- Wait until it turns golden brown, remove from the oil and serve while still warm. Perfect for a relaxing afternoon snack with a cup of hot tea.
