Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. SPECIAL EQUIPMENT: a deep-fat thermometer.
  2. WHISK together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl, then add water and egg and whisk until batter is smooth.
  3. PEEL plantains and cut on a slight diagonal into 1/2-inch pieces. Stir into batter to coat well.
  4. STIR together granulated sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
  5. HEAT 1/2 inch oil in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until thermometer registers 340°F. (See cooks' note, below.) Fry plantain slices in batches of 6 (don't crowd them) until bottoms are golden, about 45 seconds, then turn over and fry until other side of each is golden, 30 to 45 seconds more. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain.
  6. WHILE still warm, toss each batch in sugar mixture until coated, then transfer to a platter. Serve hot or warm.
  7. COOK'S NOTE: To take the temperature of a shallow amount of oil with a metal flat-framed deep-fat thermometer, put bulb of thermometer in skillet and turn thermometer facedown, resting other end (not plastic handle) against rim of skillet. Check temperature frequently.
