How to Make Brennan's Bananas Foster
- In a large, oven-safe skillet or flambé pan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in sugar and cinnamon until combined.
- Cook, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves and mixture begins to bubble and turn a light golden brown (about 2-3 minutes).
- Carefully stir in the banana liqueur. Add the sliced bananas and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until bananas begin to soften and lightly brown (about 3-5 minutes).
- Remove from heat. Carefully add the rum. (**Caution:** Rum will ignite – carefully ignite the rum using a long match or lighter. If not flambéing, skip this step and cook rum into the sauce on low heat until warmed through)
- Allow the flames to subside completely. If not flambéing, continue to cook until sauce is slightly thickened.
- Spoon bananas and sauce over scoops of ice cream. Serve immediately.
