Banana Fritters On A Stick Recipes

BANANA FRITTERS WITH PEANUT CINNAMON SUGAR + MEXICAN CHOCOLATE SAUCE.

Steps:

• Add the peanuts and 1/2 cup sugar to a food processor or blender. Blend until finely ground and the peanut become powder like. Be careful not to blend the peanuts into peanut butter. Stir (meaning do not blend, just use a spoon) in the remaining cup of sugar and the cinnamon. Transfer to a jar. The sugar can be kept at room temperature for up to 1 week.
• Add the coconut milk to a small sauce pan and bring to a low boil. Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate until melted and smooth. Stir in the ancho chili powder, cinnamon and vanilla. To rewarm the sauce before serving, just place over low heat for about minutes. Just be careful not to burn it.
• In shallow, but wide bowl, combine the flour, rice flour and baking powder. Stir in the coconut milk and beer. If the batter seems thick, just add more beer to thin. It should be thick, but pourable.
• Heat a large pot of oil over medium heat. Stick a bamboo skewer through the middle of each banana. Dip the bananas one at a time through the batter until evenly coated, then carefully lower into the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden crisp. Using a slotted spoon, remove the fritters and drain on to paper towels. Repeat with the remaining bananas and then sprinkle the fritters with lime zest if desired.
• When ready to serve, dust the fritters with peanut sugar and serve with warm chocolate sauce and lime wedges.

FRIED ELVIS BANANA ON A STICK

Steps:

• Heat 2 inches vegetable oil to 370 degrees F in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
• Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until the fat is rendered but the bacon is still pliable (don't get it too crisp), 4 to 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Let cool.
• Spread one side of each bacon slice with peanut butter. Wrap each slice around a banana piece, peanut butter-side facing the banana, pressing to adhere.
• Spread some cake flour in a shallow bowl for dredging. Whisk the cake flour, confectioners' sugar and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk in the seltzer, taking care not to overmix (a few small lumps are fine).
• Dredge half of the bananas in the flour, then dip in the batter and carefully add to the hot oil. Fry in 2 batches until crisp and golden brown, flipping halfway through, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels and repeat with the remaining bananas. Insert skewers into the bananas. Drizzle with honey and serve immediately.

SAM'S BANANA FRITTERS

Steps:

• Sift dry ingredients into a medium bowl. Combine egg and buttermilk, and stir into dry ingredients, mixing until well combined. Place bananas carefully in batter. (They can rest in the batter, covered until you are ready to fry them.)
• Heat the oil to 350 to 390 degrees F or until the oil gives off a slight haze. Make sure bananas are well coated with batter before setting them in oil. Using a fork, place coated bananas in oil and fry for 2 to 4 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from oil with tongs and drain on several layers of paper towels. Dredge drained fritters in sugar and serve hot with ice cream and caramel or chocolate sauce.
