Preparation

Step 1

Make the batter:
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and whisk to combine.

Make the bourbon sauce:
Heat bourbon, cinnamon, brown sugar and ginger until reduced by half. Slowly whisk in butter. Strain into bowl.

Make the cobbler crumbs:
Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl. Cut butter into cubes and knead into dry ingredients to form crumbs.

Make the french toast:
Place 2 tablespoons of oil in skillet. Dip toast in batter and place in skillet for 3-4 minutes on each side until firm and golden brown. In a separate skillet, add one tablespoon of oil and add banana slices. Saute 3-4 minutes.

Cut toast on angle and stack on plate. Top with bananas, bourbon sauce and sprinkle on crumbs and powder sugar.
