Bananas Foster
Description
25-6 Winter Issue
Entertaining the Bakersfield Way by Miles Johnson
As an extra-indulgent treat, you and your partner will delight in a freshly-prepared Bananas Foster. Avoided because of its perceived complexity, a rich Bananas Foster is just the thing to bring you both back into the kitchen.
Ingredients
Your favorite brand of Vanilla Ice Cream
2 Bananas
1/2 stick Butter (I prefer unsalted)
1 C Brown Sugar
4 oz. Dark Rum
1 tsp. Ground Cinnamon
2 Bananas
1/2 stick Butter (I prefer unsalted)
1 C Brown Sugar
4 oz. Dark Rum
1 tsp. Ground Cinnamon
Methods/steps
- While one of you peels and slices the bananas, the other can be at the stove. Melt the butter and brown sugar together over medium-high heat until blended.
- Allow the butter and sugar to caramelize for about five minutes or until thick and bubbly. Add the banana slices, rum, and cinnamon, stirring gently with a wooden spoon.
- After about three minutes, carefully (and I mean very carefully) light the rum/sugar concoction with a long grill lighter. The warmed rum will create a pleasing blue flame.
- Continue to cook and stir until the flame has gone out. Ladle the bananas and sauce over bowls of vanilla ice cream.
- Now take yourselves over to the fireplace and enjoy the rest of your evening.
