Friedbanana Recipes

Steps:

• Mix together the flour, sugar, egg, milk and salt to make a smooth, paste-like batter.
• Leave to rest for one hour.
• Peel the bananas and slice each one in half lengthwise, then across into chunks about three inches long.
• Dip the banana pieces into the batter and shallow fry in hot oil for a few minutes or until golden brown all over.
• Drain quickly on a wire rack or paper towel, and serve warm.
• If you like, serve them with real maple syrup, powdered sugar, or honey, for extra sweetness.

Steps:

• For the chocolate sauce: Combine the chocolate and 1/4 cup water in a heavy small saucepan. Stir over medium-low heat until the sauce is melted and smooth. Remove from the heat. Stir in small pinch cayenne pepper. Set aside.
• For the bananas: Place the brown sugar in a pie dish or on a plate. Toss the bananas in the brown sugar until nicely coated. Melt the butter in a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat until the butter becomes golden brown. Add the bananas to the hot pan cut-side down. Turn the bananas over as soon as they are golden brown and the sugar forms a crunchy coat on the bananas, about 30 seconds per side (do not allow bananas to become soft and mushy). Divide the bananas between 2 shallow bowls or plates. Spoon the chocolate sauce over the bananas. Sprinkle with the toasted almonds, and serve immediately.
• Cook's Notes: To toast the almonds, arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F oven for 6 to 8 minutes until lightly toasted. Cool completely before using.
• An alternate way to melt the chocolate is to combine the chocolate and water in a small metal bowl over a small saucepan of simmering water, and stir the chocolate mixture until melted and smooth. Remove the bowl from over the water and set aside.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the first four ingredients.
• In a large bowl, combine the egg, oil, milk, and vanilla. Gradually add the flour mixture to the egg mixture, stirring often.
• Pour the oil to a depth of 2 inches into a Dutch oven; heat to 375 degrees. Dip the banana slices into the batter; fry in hot oil 3 1/2 to 4 minutes or until golden. Drain on paper towels.

Steps:

• Cut each banana half into 3 or 4 pieces.
• Mix sugar and cinnamon together in a shallow bowl.
• Melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat; add banana slices and cook until golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer banana slices to a paper towel-lined plate. Coat banana slices, 1 at a time, with cinnamon-sugar.

Steps:

• Fry bananas in butter; add brown sugar.
• Cook until sugary and caramelized, shaking pan gently frequently to prevent breaking the bananas.
• Add orange juice and walnuts.
• Serve.

Steps:

• Peel banana and cut in half lengthwise.
• Heat butter in a non stick skillet until slightly bubbly but not brown.
• Place banana halves in the hot butter and fry for about two minutes, then carefully turn and fry other side for about two minutes, too.
• The banana halves should be slightly browned, so fry a little longer if they aren't browned after those 2x2 minutes.
• Serve hot, sprinkle with some cinnamon if you wish (I never did).

Steps:

• Mix the flour, cardamom and cinnamon. Dip bananas in milk, and dredge in the dry mixture. Cook slowly in butter about 4 minutes until they are brown on both sides.
• Meanwhile, to prepare the sauce, combine milk, sugar, rum and coconut in a saucepan and bring to boil for 2 minutes. Spoon sauce on a plate. Place two quarters of bananas on the plate, round side up, and garnish with a sprig of mint.

Steps:

• Slice each banana in half lengthwise and in half crosswise to end up with 8 banana halves.
• Toss each half in melted butter and then in flakes.
• Place on baking sheet coated with nonstick cooking spray.
• Bake at 450 for 10 minutes.
• Drizzle with honey.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a wok over high heat. Add bananas, brown sugar, and cinnamon; saute until bananas are golden brown and sugar is bubbling, about 5 minutes. Stir in sesame seeds and lime juice.
