Ingredients

    For the dumplings

  • 1 free-range egg
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • 60 g sugar
  • 140 g flour
  • ½ t baking powder
  • 3 ripe bananas, thinly sliced
  • 100 g dark chocolate, chopped
  • 60 g blue cheese crumbled
  • sunflower oil, for deep-frying
  • For the pistachio dust

  • 50 g pistachio nuts
  • 30 g icing sugar

Method

To make the dumplings: Beat together the egg, buttermilk and sugar. Mix in the remaining ingredients. Heat the oil in a medium-sized saucepan. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture into the oil and fry until golden brown. Drain on absorbent paper then set aside to keep warm.
To make the pistachio dust: Grind the nuts with the icing sugar until fine. Sprinkle over the hot dumplings.

TASTE’s take:
Chocolate and blue cheese are perfect partners to banana.
