Method
Preparation
Prepare the Plantains
Peel the plantains and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Set aside.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Whisk together until well blended.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Cooking
Heat Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
Fry Plantains
Dip each plantain slice into the batter, allowing excess to drip off, then carefully place in the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Drain Excess Oil
Once fried, remove the plantains from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
