How are you at preparing Banana’s Foster? You can be our Dessert Chef, but you’ll have to double the recipe. ;)

All are welcome at THIS Round Table as long as they contribute in some manner to the betterment of our Nation.

Banana’s Foster

¼ cup butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
½ teaspoon cinnamon
½ cup dark rum, divided
4 bananas, cut in half lengthwise, then halved
4 (1/4-cup) scoops vanilla ice cream

Combine butter, brown sugar and cinnamon in a flambé pan or skillet. Place over low heat and cook, stirring, until sugar dissolves. Stir in ¼ cup rum, then place bananas in the pan. When banana sections soften and begin to brown, carefully add remaining rum. Continue to cook until rum is hot, then ignite.

When the flames subside, (LOL!) lift bananas out of pan and place four pieces over each scoop of ice cream. Spoon warm sauce over top and serve immediately.

Serves 4.
