Bananas Foster

The first time I had Bananas Foster was with my best friend, Ruth.  We were at a restaurant called Hamilton's in Logan, Utah.  She showed me how to make this recipe, and I think it's my all time favorite!

Ingredients:
1 stick of butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
4 bananas peeled and halved, cut lengthwise
1/4 cup dark rum
Vanilla ice cream or pound cake

Directions:
Melt butter in a large skillet.  Add brown sugar and stir together.  Add the bananas and cook until caramelized over medium-high heat.  Pour in the rum and catch a flame off the gas stove or a BBQ lighter. Stand back when ignite and blambe.  Be careful; a flame will shoot up above the pan.  Let flame die down.  Serve over vanilla ice cream and/or a slice of pound cake.
