Yield: 4 servings
| Measure | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 2.00 quart | vegetable oil; for deep-frying |
| 1¾ cup | flour; + extra for rolling |
| 1.00 teaspoon | baking powder |
| ½ teaspoon | salt |
| 2.00 \N | eggs; lightly beaten |
| 1.00 \N | ripe banana; mashed |
| ⅓ cup | milk |
| 1 \N | banana-raisin caramel sauce; see * note |
| 1 \N | powdered sugar; in a sugar shaker |
* Note: Add sliced bananas and rum-soaked raisins to your favorite caramel sauce.
In a deep-fryer heat oil over medium-high heat to 365 degrees. Into a bowl sift together flour, baking powder and salt. In a large bowl whisk together eggs, banana and milk. Using a wooden spoon, beat dry ingredients into egg mixture until a biscuit-like dough forms.
Lightly flour work surface and turn out dough. Pat dough out to a ¼-inch thick round. Use a 2½- to 3-inch biscuit cutter to cut out desired shapes. Reroll scraps. Fry beignets in small batches about 4 minutes until golden, turning several times to color evenly.
Using a slotted spoon gently remove beignets and drain thoroughly on paper towels. To serve, arrange 3 beignets on each of 4 dessert plates and drizzle with Banana-Raisin Caramel Sauce. Shake powdered sugar over all and serve. This recipe yields 4 servings, about 1 dozen beignets.
