Fried BPB&J Sandwich Recipe from HHN

Ingredients: 

• 1 ½ cups of whole milk
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups of all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt
• 2 slices of thick cut, white bread
• 1 ½ tablespoons of creamy peanut butter
• 1 ½ tablespoons of grape jelly
• ½ banana sliced
• 1 teaspoon chocolate syrup
• ½ cup funnel cake batter
• 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar
• Canola oil (I would get at least 48 oz.)

​Directions for Funnel Cake

• In a large bowl, mix the milk and eggs together.
• In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
• Next, stir the bowl of dry ingredients into the large bowl of wet ingredients and mix until smooth.
• Set aside for later.

Directions for BPJ&J

• Preheat a large, heavy bottomed pot or large fry pan with canola oil until it reaches 350 degrees (use a candy thermometer to check temp).
  • You can also use a dutch oven or stock pot to fry as well. Whatever floats your boat… or in this case, sandwich.
  • For the canola oil, you’ll want around 2 inches or so. You want to be able to fully submerge the sandwich in the oil.
  • If you don’t have a candy thermometer (which I did not), you can tell the oil is ready when it’s shimmering with a whiff of smoke.
• Spread creamy peanut butter evenly on one slice of bread.
• Spread grape jelly evenly on another slice of bread.
• Pause to lick any peanut butter or jelly you may have gotten on your fingers.
• Slice the banana and place onto the piece of bread with the peanut butter.
• Close sandwich and submerge into the bowl of funnel cake batter until completely covered.
• Place the sandwich into the preheated oil but be careful! I recommend using tongs or a large slotted spoon.
• Fry until golden brown on both sides.
• Remove from oil and place onto paper towels to absorb the excess oil.
• Drizzle as much chocolate syrup as you’d like and garnish with powdered sugar. I love A LOT of chocolate as you can probably tell in the picture!
