Time 45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Vegetable oil, for frying
8 slices bacon (not thick-cut)
1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
4 bananas, peeled and halved crosswise
1 1/4 cups cake flour, plus more for dredging
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
Pinch kosher salt
1 cup very cold seltzer
Honey, for drizzling

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.
