1 stick butter, 8 Tbsps.

6 bananas
generous sprinkle of cinnamon, at least a tsp or more

1/4 cup banana liqueur

Instructions
Peel and slice bananas into discs. Add a generous splash of lemon juice and toss to coat. Place brown sugar and butter in saute pan. You can do this before dinner and let sit at room temperature until ready for dessert. Combine sugar and butter in saute pan cook over medium heat till melted. Add banana slices with lemon juice and continue cooking until bananas are slightly softened. Sprinkle with cinnamon and banana liqueur and stir continue cooking. In very small saucepan heat the rum till shimmering. Pour over bananas and ignite. When flames die serve over ice cream.
Serves 6-8 yummy portions.
Notes
I like to get everything ready except the cooking before my guests arrive. Then when I’m ready to serve dessert it takes 5 minutes and gives my guests a really impressive show.
