Bananas Foster
INGREDIENTS
- 3 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup dark brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1/3 cup dark rum
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 4 bananas, sliced thinly lengthwise
- Optional: chopped pecans
DIRECTIONS
- In a large pan, melt butter over medium heat, ensuring you do not scald it.
- Stir in brown sugar and lemon juice and cook for 2 to 3 minutes (ensuring sugar dissolves and does not clump). If including, add chopped pecans.
- Place bananas in the pan in a single layer and cook each side for 2 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low.
- While cooking bananas, in a 1 quart saucepan, heat rum on low heat.
- When bananas are cooked through, ignite the rum and pour over the bananas.
- Ensure that the flame is extinguished and serve over ice cream.
