Ingredients
3 cups oil for frying
1 ½ cups ice-cold water
1 (8 ounce) package tempura batter mix
3 medium ripe bananas, cut into 5 pieces
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar, or to taste
Directions
Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Pour cold water into a large bowl; sprinkle tempura batter mix on top. Whisk until mix is moistened and large lumps dissolve; batter should still be slightly lumpy.
Dip 5 banana slices into batter. Fry in hot oil until lightly golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Repeat to dip and fry remaining banana slices.
Dust with confectioners' sugar to serve.
