Description
A beloved Thai street food dessert featuring crispy, buttery layers wrapped around soft, sweet bananas, perfect for a quick and delicious treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 2 ripe bananas, sliced
- 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
- Vegetable oil for cooking
- Optional: 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- Optional: 1 tablespoon Nutella or chocolate spread
- Optional: 1 tablespoon shredded coconut
- Optional: 1 tablespoon chopped nuts (such as almonds or pistachios)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and sugar. Mix well.
- Add the melted butter to the dry ingredients and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually pour in the warm water, kneading the dough until smooth and elastic (5-7 minutes).
- Cover with a damp cloth and let rest for at least 30 minutes.
- Divide dough into golf ball-sized pieces.
- Roll each ball into a thin 8-inch circle.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat with a tablespoon of vegetable oil.
- Place a dough circle in the skillet, add banana slices to half, and drizzle with condensed milk.
- Fold over the dough to seal and cook 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Repeat with remaining dough and bananas.
- Serve warm with extra condensed milk or toppings of your choice.
Notes
Use ripe bananas for best flavor. Ensure the skillet is hot and use enough oil for a crispy texture. Don’t overfill or over-knead the dough.
