Banana Bites Recipe

Preheat 3 or 4 pieces of oil in a deep-fat fryer to 350 F. Combine 1 cup of the flour, the beer, baking powder, and salt. Dust the banana slices with the remaining flour, shaking off the excess. Dip the slices into the batter, then roll them in the coconut. Fry 3 or 4 banana slices at a time until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Skim out the fritters and drain on paper towels. Dust with confectioners' sugar and serve warm. Serves 3 to 4.
