Ingredients
| 6 bananas |
| 6 Tbsp. unsalted butter |
| 3 Tbsp. dark brown sugar |
| 2 oz. dark rum (optional) |
Preparation
1. Peel bananas, then sauté the fruit in a lot of foaming unsalted butter in a large pan on the stove top.
2. Sprinkle ground cinnamon and a tablespoon or so of dark brown sugar over them as they grow golden and crisp. This won’t take much more than 5 or 6 minutes. Add a few ounces of dark rum to the pan at the end, if you wish.
3. Place a banana on each plate with a little drizzle of the butter, and serve with vanilla ice cream.
Serves 6.
