Preparation

Step 1

Heat sugar, butter, salt, and cinnamon in a 12" skillet over medium-low heat, and cook, stirring, until sugar dissolves in butter. Add bananas, and cook, stirring gently, until soft, about 10 minutes. Add rum, and using a match or lighter, ignite to flambe, and cook until flame dies out. To serve, spoon bananas and sauce over scoops of ice cream in bowls.
