   1       c            Whipping cream
     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.
