1/2 cup raw white sesame seeds

1/2 cup sugar

1 cup flour

water

1 tbsp. baking powder

2 bananas

1/2 cup cornstarch

4 cups vegetable oil

Saute sesame seeds (dry with no oil) to a golden color. Put in blender and process to a powder-like texture. Mix with sugar. (This makes sesame sugar.)

Mix flour with enough water to make a batter-like consistency; it should not be too thin. Add baking powder and mix again. Remove banana peels and slice bananas diagonally about 1-1/2 in. apart. Roll in cornstarch.

Heat oil to about 300 degrees. Dip banana pieces into batter, then into hot oil. Remove when they turn a light golden brown. Put on a plate and sprinkle with Sesame Sugar. Serve.
