Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 under-ripe bananas, quartered
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon banana liqueur
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 cup bourbon

Steps:

Put the bananas in a 10-inch heavy skillet with the butter, brown sugar, liqueur and nutmeg and set over high heat. Once the sugar starts to dissolve, begin spooning the sauce over the bananas, flipping them after 1 minute. Remove from the heat when the sauce begins to thicken and bubble. Carefully pour the bourbon into the pan and ignite with a long match or stick lighter. Continue to cook until the flames die out and the sauce coats the back of a spoon. Serve immediately with ice cream, waffles or crepes.

Time 8m

Yield 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
3 slightly under-ripe bananas, halved crosswise, then lengthwise
1/3 cup bourbon
4 slices pound cake
4 scoops vanilla ice cream

Steps:

1. In a large skillet, cook the butter and brown sugar over medium-high heat, stirring until the butter melts. Add the bananas and gently turn to coat. Once the sauce begins to bubble, add the bourbon. 2. Using a long match or igniter, light the mixture. Cook until the flames subside. Alternatively, simmer the bourbon, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens to the consistency of honey, about 2 minutes. 3. Divide the cake among the serving dishes and drizzle with some of the bourbon sauce. Top with the ice cream, then the bananas and remaining sauce. Serve immediately.
