Step 1
Peel bananas and slice on the bias into 1/2-inch-thick ovals. Set aside.
Step 2
Whisk flour, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Pour in club soda and stir until smooth batter forms.
Step 3
Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until a wooden chopstick dropped in sizzles immediately, ~2 minutes.
Step 4
Working in batches, coat banana slices in batter and fry 90 seconds per side until golden and crispy. Transfer to paper towels.
Step 5
In a small saucepan, whisk sugar with 2 tablespoons water over medium heat until amber caramel forms, ~4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in condensed milk.
Step 6
Arrange fritters on a plate, drizzle warm caramel sauce over top, squeeze lime juice, and serve immediately.
