Bananas Foster
- 2 bananas, peeled
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons banana liqueur
- 1/4 cup white rum
- 1 pint vanilla ice cream
- Slice the bananas in half lengthwise and brush with the lemon juice. Melt the butter with the sugar in a flat chafing dish or 10-inch skillet. Add the bananas and saute until just tender. Sprinkle with the cinnamon.
- Remove from the heat and add liqueur and rum. Carefully ignite with a long match. Use a large long-handled spoon to baste the bananas with the warm liquid until the flame burns out.
- Divide the ice cream among four dishes. Top each one with a banana half and some of the sauce. Serve immediately.
