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.
