I made this recipe as I had many ripe bananas so I doubled all ingredients (but used 3 tbsp of sugar). It came out very tasty but I would give less sugar (2tbsp for double version) as bananas are naturally sweet anyway. I used few kinds of flour to make them healthier, white, brown and spelt. I also substituted vanilla powder with vanilla extract. Thank you for sharing - 17 May 2014
hi I am indonesian--and pisang goreng is just the best. if you try to bake the bananas in the oven on a baking sheet (425 F) until they're crispy, and use egg substitutes and reduced-calorie margarine (instead of butter), you'll cut down on a lot of fat. - 14 Apr 2004 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
I'm an Indo girl too, and I LOVE pisang goreng!! DO NOT use banana's that are too ripe, they'll be soggy after you fry them. Adding the rum was something new to me...but it's delicious!! - 25 Feb 2005 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
