Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bananas

    Peel the ripe bananas and slice them in half lengthwise. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until it begins to foam.

  3. 3

    Add Sugar and Cinnamon

    Stir in the brown sugar and cinnamon, mixing until fully combined and the sugar is dissolved.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Cook the Bananas

    Gently add the sliced bananas to the skillet, cooking for about 2 minutes on each side. The bananas should be golden brown.

  2. 5

    Flambé with Rum

    Carefully pour in the dark rum. Allow it to ignite with a long lighter or match to create a flambé effect. Let it burn for about 30 seconds until the flames subside.

  3. 6

    Serve

    Remove the skillet from heat. Serve the bananas Foster warm over scoops of vanilla ice cream. If desired, sprinkle with chopped pecans.
