WATERTOWN, New York (WWNY) – Elvis Presley was always close to his mother, Gladys. And one of the things Gladys made for him when he was a boy: a peculiarly southern dish, the fried peanut butter and banana sandwich.
The basic recipe for the sandwich is here, but really, watch our favorite chef, Chef Manning, from 7 News This Morning Friday. Chef Manning has some delicious ways to improve on the basic recipe, using raisin bread, fluff and bacon. One hint: it’s messy, as Makenzie Piatt found out.
The basic recipe:
Two pieces of bread, toasted lightly.
Skillet heated over medium heat with two tablespoons butter
As you toast bread, mash a small ripe banana until smooth.
Spread both sides of toasted bread with peanut butter, and one side with banana.
Take the sandwich and brown in skillet, both sides.
