Bananas Foster

An Amazing Dessert from New Orleans

A good friend of mine almost burned down her house making
these (too much rum), but they’re definitely worth the risk!

• 2 TBLSP BUTTER
• 3 TBLSP BROWN SUGAR
• 2 BANANAS
• 1/8 TSP CINNAMON
• 2 TBLSP BANANA LIQUEUR (OPTIONAL)
  
• 2 OUNCES RUM
• 1 TSP LEMON JUICE
• VANILLA ICE CREAM

____________________________________________

Cut each banana into four lengthwise pieces. Sauté in butter and brown sugar until tender (just takes a minute). Sprinkle with cinnamon and lemon juice. Add rum and set aflame (long matches recommended), and baste until flame dies out. Serve over ice cream immediately.

A rich dessert—serves at least four.
