Bananas Foster Topping

Method

Bananas Foster Topping Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Bananas

    Slice the ripe bananas into 1/4-inch thick rounds.

  2. 2

    Make the Sauce

    In the same skillet used for pancakes, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and cinnamon, stirring until the sugar dissolves.

  3. 3

    Add Bananas and Rum

    Add the sliced bananas to the skillet and gently toss to coat. Carefully pour in the dark rum and allow it to simmer for about 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

  4. 4

    Flambé (Optional)

    For a classic touch, carefully ignite the rum with a long lighter and let it burn for a few seconds, allowing the alcohol to cook off. Turn off the heat.
