BANANAS FOSTER
 
4 tablespoons butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
4 tablespoons banana liqueur
4 bananas, cut in half lengthwise, then halved
About 1/4 cup rum
4 scoops vanilla ice cream
 
Melt the butter over an alcohol burner in a flambe pan or attractive
skillet.  Add the sugar, cinnamon and the banana liqueur and stir
to mix. Heat for a few minutes and place the halved bananas in the
sauce and saute until soft and slightly browned. Add the rum and
allow it to heat well; then tip the pan so that the flame from the
burner causes the sauce to light. First lift the bananas carefully
out of the pan and place four pieces over each portion of ice cream
and spoon the hot sauce from the pan over the top.
 
Serves four.
 
Note: This can also be prepared over a stove burner and then brought
to the dinner table and flamed.
