Some things you have to do every day. Eating seven apples on Saturday night instead of one a day just isn't going to get the job done.
[Jim Rohn]

 

Watermelon --it's a good fruit. You eat, you drink, you wash your face.
[ Enrico Caruso]

Fruits are acceptable gifts, because they are the flower of commodities, and admit of fantastic values being attached to them. If a man should send to me to come a hundred miles to visit him, and should set before me a basket of fine summer-fruit, I should think there was some proportion between the labor and the reward.
[ Ralph Waldo Emerson]

Brennan's Banana Beignets

 

Ingredients

3/4 cup flour
2 tbsp sugar, plus 2 ts
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup milk, plus 2 t
1/4 cup beer
1 egg
1 oil, for deep frying
4 bananas, each quartered crosswise
1 powdered sugar
1 mint leaves

CARAMEL SAUCE

1 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 tbsp bourbon



 

Preparation

BEIGNETS:

Mix flour, sugar and baking powder in bowl. Add milk, beer and
egg and stir until smooth.

Heat oil in deep fryer or heavy deep skillet to 375F. Working in
batches, dip bananas into batter and then carefully add to oil. Cook
until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Pour
caramel sauce onto plates. Set bananas atop sauce. Sprinkle with
powdered sugar. Garnish plates with mint leaves and serve.

CARAMEL SAUCE:

Bring cream to boil in heavy medium saucepan over high heat. Cook
sugar in heavy small saucepan over low heat, swirling pan
occasionally, until brown. Gradually stir hot cream into caramel
(mixture will bubble vigorously). Boil until thickened to sauce
consistency, 3 to 5 minutes. Add bourbon. Serve hot. (Sauce can be
prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm over low heat.)

Makes about 1-1/3 cups.
