Preparation

Step 1

Method:

Melt the butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg in a small sauté pan or skillet over medium heat. When bubbling hot, add the liqueur and rum, avert your face, and ignite with a match; shake the pan until the alcohol is burned off and the flame dies down.

Add the banana slices and toss until coated.

Serve warm, with vanilla ice cream.
