  • Banana cue is a popular Filipino snack made from sweet, ripe bananas coated in caramelized brown sugar, then skewered and deep-fried until crispy. Here’s how to make the perfect banana cue:

Ingredients

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • oil for deep-frying

EQUIPMENT

  • Saucepan

Step 2: In a saucepan, melt the brown sugar over low heat, stirring continuously until it turns into a syrup.

Step 3: In a separate bowl, mix together the flour and cornstarch.

Step 4: Dip each skewered banana piece into the syrup, making sure it is fully coated. Then, roll it in the flour mixture.

Step 5: Repeat this process until all the banana pieces are coated in syrup and flour.

Step 6: Heat the oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. When the oil is hot, carefully place the skewered bananas into the pan and fry until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas: Overripe bananas are the best choice for banana cue, as they are sweeter and softer, making them easier to skewer and coat in the syrup.
  • Avoid overcrowding the pan: When deep-frying the banana cues, make sure not to overcrowd the pan, as this can cause the temperature of the oil to drop, leading to soggy and undercooked banana cues.
  • Use a thermometer: Using a thermometer to monitor the temperature of the oil is important, as overheated oil can cause the banana cues to burn, while oil that is not hot enough will result in greasy, undercooked banana cues.
