Instructions
Make the Batter
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, and cold sparkling water until a smooth, thin batter forms. The batter should coat the back of a spoon lightly. Do not overmix as this will develop too much gluten and make the fritters tough.
Heat the Oil
Pour vegetable oil into a deep skillet or saucepan to a depth of about 2 inches. Heat the oil over medium-high heat to 350 degrees F. Test the oil by dropping in a small amount of batter — it should sizzle immediately.
Fry the Banana Fritters
Dip each banana half into the batter, letting any excess drip off. Carefully lower the banana into the hot oil and fry for 2 to 3 minutes per side until deeply golden and crispy. Fry in batches to avoid crowding the pan.
Drain, Glaze, and Serve
Remove the fritters from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Warm the honey slightly in the microwave for 15 seconds, then drizzle it generously over the hot fritters. Serve immediately.
