We LOVE this recipe. It is by no means healthy, but extremely good and easy. Just stuff some bananas in sourdough bread, dip it in a milk/egg mixture, and deep fry. Drain and cover with a cinnamon sugar mixture. Absolutely amazing. We give it 5 mickeys.
5 mickeys deserves a recipe:
ReplyDelete2 or 4 slices sourdough bread cut 1-inch thick
1 banana
1/3 C sugar
1 t cinnamon
1 egg
1/4 C milk
1/2 t vanilla extract
Oil or shortening for frying
Whipped butter, if desired
Maple syrup, if desired
Depending on the size of the bread slices, cut a 1-inch pocket in one side of each bread slice. Cut bananas in half crosswise, then split each piece lengthwise. Remove peel and stuff 2 pieces in each pocket of bread, again depending on size. If slices are small, use 4 and stuff 1 piece of banana in each pocket. Set aside. Mix sugar and cinnamon. set aside. Mix egg, milk and vanilla until well blended.
Heat about 4 inches of oil or shortening in a pan to 350. Dip stuffed bread into egg and milk mixture, soaking a few minutes to penetrate into bread. Fry in hot oil or shortening until lightly browned, turning to brown both sides, about 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels on cake rack. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon and serve at once. If desired, spread with whipped butter and serve with maple syrup.
