Banana Fritters with Salted Caramel

My boys (especially my hubby) can't imagine a day without bananas. So, you suppose, I always have to find ways of  using them somehow. Some of them go to the freezer (for shakes), end up in Banana bread, or get coated in crispy batter, fried and served with Salted caramel.

Ingredients:

ripe bananas, halved 

1 cup SR flour

3/4 cup cold water

pinch of cinnamon 

oil for deep frying

Caramel sauce-

200 g sugar

1/2 cup cream (35%)

80 g butter

pinch of salt 

Method:

Place oil in a deep frying dish; heat to medium hot.

Mix flour, cinnamon and water. Dip each half of banana into batter and fry 2-3 at a time, until golden in colour. Drain onto paper towel well.

Caramel sauce-

Place sugar into a heavy bottomed pan. When starts caramelizing, swirl and shake you pan. When all sugar meted and golden in colour, pour cream and ad butter. Return to slow heat and let it melt. Add pinch of salt, stir and take off of heat.

To serve- place bananas onto serving dish; pour caramel over them and enjoy.

If you don't want to make caramel sauce, serve with cream / dusted with icing sugar / icecream / custard...

Pohovane Banane sa Karamel Prelivom

Moji muski (posebno mm) nemogu biti dana bez banana. Pretpostavljate onda,  da uvijek imam one koje su prezrele i treba ih nekako iskoristiti. Osim zamrzavanja (za šejks), volim praviti Banana Bread ili ih pohovati i servirati sa karamel prelivom.

Potrebno:

zrele banane, prepolovljene

1 solja samodizajuceg brasna

3/4 solje hladne vode

malo cimeta

ulje za przenje (duboko)

Karamel-

200 gr secera

1/2 solje (125ml) vrhnja slatkog

80 gr maslaca

malo soli

Nacin:

Zagrijte ulje za duboko przenje.

Umijesajte brasno, cimet i vodu u glatku masu. Umacite banane i przite na srednjoj vatri, 2-3 najvise, dok ne postanu zlatno-zute. Ocijedite na papiru poslije przenja.

Karamel-

Stavite secer u posudu sa teskim dnom. Zagrijavajte dokne pocne da se otapa. Okrecite i treskajte posudu dok se sav secer ne pretvori u zlatno braon masu. Ubacite vrhnje i maslac. Vratite na slabu vatru dok se ne otope. Zasolite i promijesajte, pa smaknite sa vatre. 

Smjestite banane na posudu za serviranje, prelijte sa karamelom i uzivajte.

Banane mozete servirati sa vrhnjem / secerom u prahu / sladoledom / rijetkim pudingom...
