Fried Peanut Butter & Banana Sandwich

I had a whole skillet full of leftover frying oil from my pork flautas, when suddenly a wild hair hit me. I began gyrating my hips and singing "Jail House Rock." It was no big secret that Elvis Pressly had an affinity for peanut butter and banana sandwiches. I've just capitalized on that delight by coating it in batter and deep frying it. The result is a crunchy exterior and an ooey-gooey peanut buttery center.

Fried Peanut Butter & Banana Sandwich

Ingredients

  • 1 Peanut Butter & Banana Sandwich
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 TBSP vinegar
  • 1/2 Tsp. Salt
  • 1 TBSP Vegetable Oil
  • 1 Tsp. Baking Powder
  • Oil for deep-frying

Make your sandwich. Heat the oil in a deep skillet to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl, sift together the flour, salt and baking powder. Add the oil, milk, and vinegar and whisk together until just smooth.

Completely submerge your sandwich in the batter and then go right into the hot oil. This shouldn't take very long if your oil is hot enough. Just about 1 minute per side. Flip gently. Remove from oil and drain. Cut in half and sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Thank you. Thank you very much.
