I LOVE the name, and the idea of this fabulous banana biscuit, filled with bacon, peanut butter and fresh sliced banana. The kids didn't care too much for the combination, but I most definitely enjoyed every delicious bite of mine.
5 to 6 ripe bananas
2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup honey-roasted peanuts, chopped
1/3 cup cold butter
1/2 cup buttermilk
peanut butter spread
10 cooked bacon slices, halved
Heat oven to 450F.
Cut 4 bananas into 2 inch pieces, halve each piece lengthwise. Mash remaining bananas to equal 1/2 cup.
Sift together flour and next 4 ingredients in a large bowl, add mashed bananas and peanuts.
Cut butter into small cubes, place in flour mixture, cut butter into flour mixture with a pastry blender, fork or your fingers until crumbly. Add buttermilk, stirring just until mixture is slightly moistened.
Turn dough out onto a heavily floured surface, shape into a ball. Pat into a 1/2 inch thick circle.
Cut with a floured, 3-inch round cutter, and place biscuits 1 inch apart on a lightly greased baking sheet.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden.
Split warm biscuits, spread bottom halves of biscuits with peanut butter spread. Top each with 2 bacon pieces and 2 banana slices. Cover with biscuit tops.
PEANUT BUTTER SPREAD
Stir together 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon milk, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla in a microwave safe bowl.
Microwave at HIGH for 30 seconds, or until softened. Stir until smooth.
