Bananas Foster
 

1 cup brown sugar
1/4 pound (1 stick) butter
2 bananas
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon or 1 cinnamon stick
2 ounces banana liquor
2 ounces rum, divided
Vanilla ice cream
 
Cook sugar and butter about 5 minutes. Add bananas; simmer another 2 minutes. Add cinnamon, vanilla flavoring, banana liquor and 1 ounce rum; simmer another 2 minutes. If you plan to flambe, pull saute pan back and super heat the front edge of the pan, add another 1 ounce rum with a jigger (do not pour out of the bottle). Light with a long match or roll the flame over the edge of the pan if using gas. Jiggling the saute pan will increase the flame. Serve immediately over vanilla ice cream.
