Darnell's Bananas Foster
5 bananas
1 stick butter
1 c brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 c rum
1/2 c banana liqueur
Cinnamon
Slice bananas into three slices length-wise then in half.
Melt butter in skillet, add brown sugar, 1/2 tsp cinnamon. Cook on low until thick paste. Add vanilla and banana liqueur and stir well. Cook 3 minutes.
Add banana slices and cook over medium heat, basting with sugar-butter mixture. Cook 5 minutes. Will bubble while cooking.
In a separate pan, heat rum.
Ignite the rum in the pan (will have low blue flame) and pour over the banana mixture (will flame up dramatically). Serve with bananas and ice cream.
