Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to make fried bananas in caramel at home? Prepare the products. Take either one large banana or two small ones. I took cane sugar, but you can do with plain white. Choose high-quality, natural and delicious butter, without vegetable fats in the composition.
Step 2:
Peel and slice the banana. In an absolutely arbitrary way. I cut the rings, you can cut them large, first lengthwise, then in half, you get 4 pieces.
Step 3:
Heat the frying pan over low heat, put oil on it. Melt it, stirring with a spatula.
Step 4:
Add sugar to the butter. Start actively stirring it.
Step 5:
The goal is to melt the sugar, achieving the preparation of caramel. At the same time, make the fire medium. When all the sugar gets wet from the oil, stop stirring. Leave the pan on the fire, shaking it from time to time. Caramel should thicken, bubble up and acquire a caramel hue. In the case of brown sugar, do not focus on the color — it is immediately dark. Look at the bubbles.
Step 6:
Put a chopped banana in the caramel. Make the fire small again. Fry the banana for about 2 minutes, picking up the pieces with a fork and checking the readiness.
Step 7:
When one side is golden, turn the pieces over with two forks. Fry the banana on the other side for the same amount. Do not miss the moment of readiness, the banana can become very soft if it is overexposed. Remove the finished banana from the pan and pour over the remaining caramel. Serve hot as a separate dessert or as an addition to others. This banana is very tasty combined with ice cream. Enjoy your meal!
We really liked bananas! I tried them immediately after cooking — tart, with a lingering caramel, they perfectly suited to cold ice cream! We finished the cooled ones in the morning with French toast. Bananas have become even softer and more tender.
I sprinkled sesame seeds on the finished dish, cinnamon or coconut chips are also perfect.
I advise you to take the bananas themselves solid, so they will keep their shape better when frying.
Cane sugar further emphasized the caramel taste of the dessert.
If you want to get an even richer taste of the dish, then splash a couple of spoonfuls of good aromatic alcohol — cognac or rum — into the pan at the end and set it on fire. The alcohol will evaporate, but the taste will remain.
Instead of sugar, you can use a sweetener that is not afraid of heat treatment.
Important! An incorrectly selected frying pan can ruin even the best recipe. All the details on how to choose the perfect frying pan for different dishes read here .
