Bananas Foster Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar and cinnamon until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is bubbly.

  2. 2

    Add the Bananas

    Slice the bananas in half lengthwise and place them in the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are golden and softened.

  3. 3

    Add Alcohol

    Carefully add the bourbon and rum to the skillet. Allow the mixture to simmer for another 2-3 minutes, stirring gently. If desired, you can flambé the mixture by igniting the alcohol to enhance the flavor.

  4. 4

    Serve

    To serve, scoop the homemade bread pudding onto a plate, spoon the sautéed bananas and sauce on top, and add a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
