Brennan's Bananas Foster

Step 1

Combine the butter, sugar and cinnamon in a flambé pan or skillet.

Step 2

Place the pan over low heat either on an alcohol burner or on top of the stove, and cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves.

Step 3

Stir in the banana liqueur, then place the bananas in the pan. When the banana sections soften and begin to brown, carefully add the rum.

Step 4

Continue to cook the sauce until the rum is hot, then tip the pan slightly to ignite the rum, or ignite with a long match.

Step 5

When the flames subside, lift the bananas out of the pan and place four pieces over each portion of ice cream.

Step 6

Generously spoon warm sauce over the top of the ice cream and serve immediately.
