Bananas Foster
One of Mike's favorites. He was in charge of the bonfires in high school. Serves 2.
Ingredients
3 tbsp. brown sugar
a few pinches of cinnamon
2 tbsp. butter
1 banana, peeled and quartered
1/4 cup rum
2 tbsp. banana liqueur
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1 broom
Melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in sugar and cinnamon. When it starts to bubble, add banana and lemon juice and cook about 4 more minutes, basting the banana with syrup. In a separate pan, warm the liqueur and rum a bit, then ignite it. Pour it, flaming, over the bananas and baste some more until the flames go out. Turn off the smoke detector with the broom and serve immediately.
