Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups (about 7 1/2 ounces) all-purpose flour; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1/4 cup (about 1 3/4 ounces) sugar; 10 tablespoons butter, chilled; 1 teaspoon ground cardamom; 5-6 tablespoons ice water; 1 (12-ounce) jar Nutella; 2 medium bananas; 1 quart vegetable oil; powdered sugar, for sprinkling

1
Using a food processor, pulse together flour, sugar, salt, butter, and cardamom until the dough pulls away from the sides of the mixer. Gradually add ice water one tablespoon at a time until dough comes together and can easily form a ball. Form into a 1/4-inch disc, cover in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
2
Unwrap and roll out pie dough to 1/8-inch on a lightly floured surface. Using a 4-inch round cookie cutter, cut out 10 to 12 pie circles, gathering and re-rollings scraps as necessary. Place 1 tablespoon of Nutella and 2-3 slices of banana in center of dough circles. Fold shut and seal by crimping the edges with a fork.
3
Heat oil in heavy bottomed pot until temperature reaches 350u00b0F. Lower pies into oil using a slotted spoon in batches of 3 and cook until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to cool. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, and serve.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
