A new and delicious twist on an old favorite. I found this recipe in Bon Appetite, Jan 2007. Ingredients:
2 cinnamon doughnuts or 2 crumb doughnuts or 2 glazed doughnuts |
3 tablespoons butter |
3 tablespoons golden brown sugar (packed) |
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice |
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1 tablespoon dark rum |
2 small ripe bananas, peeled, cut on diagonal into 1/2-inch-thick slices |
vanilla ice cream |
toasted pecans |
Directions:
1. Preheat broiler.
2. Place the doughnuts on small baking sheet; then set aside.
3. To make the caramel sauce: stir the butter and brown sugar in a heavy medium skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted.
4. Boil for 1 minute, stirring occasionally.
5. Remove from heat.
6. Mix in lemon juice and spices, then rum; stir to blend.
7. Cool caramel sauce 3 minutes.
8. Meanwhile, broil the doughnuts just until hot and bubbly, watching closely to avoid burning, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
9. Transfer the doughnuts to 2 dessert sized plates.
10. Gently toss bananas with caramel sauce in skillet, to coat.
11. Top doughnuts with a scoop of ice cream, flattening slightly in center.
12. Spoon bananas and caramel sauce over.
13. Sprinkle with nuts and serve.
