- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons bakers' 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 of water
- 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup of heavy cream
- Pinch kosher salt
- 1 pint of vanilla bean ice cream
- 1/4 cup banana chips
- 1/4 cup toasted pecans
Method
- 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 and coat well.
- Fry in hot oil for 4-5 minutes until batter is puffy and golden brown.
- Drain on paper towels when done.
- 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 then 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.
