    1/2   c            Sugar
  1 1/2   tb           Bourbon

 BEIGNETS:

    Mix flour, sugar and baking powder in bowl.  Add
 milk, beer and egg and stir until smooth.

    Heat oil in deep fryer or heavy deep skillet to
 375F.  Working in batches, dip bananas into batter and
 then carefully add to oil.  Cook until golden brown,
 about 3 minutes.  Drain on paper towels.  Pour caramel
 sauce onto plates.  Set bananas atop sauce.  Sprinkle
 with powdered sugar. Garnish plates with mint leaves
 and serve.

 CARAMEL SAUCE:

   Bring cream to boil in heavy medium saucepan over
 high heat. Cook sugar in heavy small saucepan over low
 heat, swirling pan occasionally, until brown.
 Gradually stir hot cream into caramel (mixture will
 bubble vigorously).  Boil until thickened to sauce
 consistency, 3 to 5 minutes. Add bourbon.  Serve hot.
 (Sauce can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and
 refrigerate.  Rewarm over low heat.)

 Makes about 1-1/3 cups.
