| Flamed
Banana Foster
Preparing flamed desserts can
be fun if you do it table side.
Use a smaller side table to flame the dessert, not the
dining room table - and be very careful.
Serves 4
4 Bananas, peeled and sliced to one-inch chinks
1/2 stick of butter (1/8 pound)
1/4 cups brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup dark rum or brandy liquor
Vanilla ice cream or Vanilla frozen yogurt
Assembly
1. Heat butter and brown sugar in a skillet over medium
heat, until sugar is dissolved and bubbly; stir in sliced
bananas and cinnamon, sauté for a minute while stirring
making sure the bananas are coated with sugar mixture.
Add rum and carefully ignite with a match, or if using
a gas stove, tip pan carefully into the flames and the
fumes will ignite. The liquor will burst into flames
so be careful. Cook until the flame goes out. Spoon
vanilla ice cream into individual small bowls, or custard
dishes; spoon banana and sauce on vanilla ice cream.
