Butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and bananas, heated, and served over ice cream. (online recipe from Brennan's New Orleans. http://www.brennansneworleans.com/r_bananasfoster.html)
Ingredients
- 1/8 cup Unsalted Butter
- 1/2 cup Dark Brown Sugar
- 1/4 tsp Cinnamon, Ground
- 4 medium Banana
- 1/8 cup Myer's Dark Rum
- 2 cups Vanilla ice cream
Directions
Cut bananas in half lengthwise and then in half.
Combine the butter, sugar, and cinnamon in a flambé pan or skillet. Place the pan over low heat either on an alcohol burner or on top of the stove, and cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Stir in the banana liqueur, then place the bananas in the pan. When the banana sections soften and begin to brown, carefully add the rum. Continue to cook the sauce until the rum is hot, then tip the pan slightly to ignite the rum. When the flames subside, lift the bananas out of the pan and place four pieces over each portion of ice cream. Generously spoon warm sauce over the top of the ice cream and serve immediately.
