This recipe slightly transforms these ingredients to create a fairground-style treat on a stick, perfect for children's parties and house parties.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- In a cauldron, heat 5 cm of vegetable oil over medium-high heat to 190°C.
- Meanwhile, in a skillet over medium heat, fry the bacon until the fat has rendered but the bacon is still pliable and not too crisp, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Let cool.
- Spread one side of each slice of bacon with peanut butter. Wrap each slice around a banana slice, peanut-side down, pressing firmly to adhere.
- Place a small amount of cake flour in a shallow bowl for dusting. In a medium bowl, combine the cake flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Stir in the seltzer water, being careful not to overmix the batter (a few small lumps are normal).
- Dredge half the bananas in flour, then dip them in the batter and carefully lower them into the hot oil. Fry them, a few at a time, until crispy and golden brown, turning once, for 3-4 minutes. Drain on paper towels and repeat with the remaining bananas. Insert wooden skewers into the bananas. Drizzle with honey and serve immediately.
