Ingredients (4 servings):
4 large bananas, peeled and split in half
40g butter
25g soft light brown sugar
100ml good quality dark rum
1tsp vanilla extract
Preparation:
Heat the butter 10g at a time in a deep frying pan over a moderate heat until it stops foaming. Add 1 banana at a time and sprinkle over a little sugar. Cook for a few minutes until the sugar starts to caramelize.
Add 25ml of rum and a dash of vanilla extract and carefully ignite the rum using a safety match. Once the flames have extinguished, remove the pan from the heat and serve immediately. Repeat the process for each portion, cooking 2 bananas at a time if you have a large enough pan.
