Categories     dessert

Time 35m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
2 tablespoons baking powder
2 tablespoons bakers' sugar (finely ground granulated sugar)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 yolks
1 1/2 cups club soda
2 bananas
Vegetable oil, for deep-frying
2 cups sugar
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup heavy cream
Pinch kosher salt
1 pint vanilla bean ice cream
1/4 cup banana chips
1/4 cup toasted pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat your oil in a heavy-based pot for deep-frying to 365 degrees F.
  • In a large mixing bowl combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Make a well in the center and add the yolks and club soda. Using a whisk, stir from the inside working your way out, slowly incorporating the dry ingredients without forming any lumps. Peel the bananas and dip in the batter to coat well. Fry in hot oil for 4 to 5 minutes until batter is puffy and golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
  • While bananas are cooking, prepare caramel sauce. Combine the sugar and water in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat. Cook, swirling the pot around, until the mixture is a deep caramel color and looks like syrup, about 8 minutes. Add the butter then carefully pour in the cream (it will bubble up) and continue to cook for another minute. Add a pinch of salt and cool before serving.
  • To serve the banana split, cut the bananas lengthwise and top with a large scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. Pour warm caramel sauce over the top and finish with a sprinkle of banana chips and toasted pecans.

UNCLE DOBO'S SPECIAL BANANA BLUEBERRY BREAD



Uncle Dobo's Special Banana Blueberry Bread image

We had a bunch of bananas that needed making into bread, and we based our recipe on the easy one here at Zaar by Charishma Ramchandani (recipe#9353). Easy and delicious, it makes a nice, light banana bread which is not overly sweet. Thanks for the inspiration, Charishma! You can either mix the batter by hand or with an electric mixer; either will work fine and you only need one large bowl.

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 1h10m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 very ripe bananas
2 eggs
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 1/3 cups Bisquick
1 1/2 tablespoons molasses
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon mild curry powder (our favorite is Penzy's Maharajah curry powder)
1/8 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup fresh blueberries (I, of course, want Alaskan lowbush blueberries!)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter a large loaf pan.
  • Peel bananas and mash in a large bowl.
  • Add the eggs and stir until well mixed, then stir in sugar.
  • Gradually stir in the Bisquick, then add remaining ingredients (batter will be a little lumpy).
  • Pour batter into the buttered loaf pan. Bake in preheated 350 degrees F oven for 60 minutes or until golden and knife or toothpick inserted in middle of loaf comes out clean. The loaf should be nicely risen and split down the middle on top.
  • Take from oven, remove from loaf pan, and let cool for 5-10 minutes sitting on wire rack, then serve warm. Is especially yummy with butter! Also good with softened cream cheese or even a little vanilla ice cream.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe bananas: Look for bananas that are bright yellow and have no green tint. Avoid bananas with bruises or blemishes.
  • Use high-quality ice cream: The better the ice cream, the better the banana split. Look for ice cream that is creamy and flavorful.
  • Don't skimp on the toppings: Toppings are what make a banana split special. Be generous with your toppings and let your guests choose their favorites.
  • Serve immediately: Banana splits are best served immediately after they are made. The ice cream will start to melt and the toppings will get soggy if you wait too long.

Conclusion:

The banana split is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make, delicious, and always a crowd-pleaser. With so many different topping options, there's a banana split out there for everyone. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give the banana split a try. You won't be disappointed.
