Ingredients
- 3 1/2 tablespoons dark rum
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 bananas, peeled, sliced lengthwise and crosswise
- Pinch kosher salt
- 1 pint vanilla bean ice cream
Directions
In a small saucepan, combine the rum, vanilla extract, brown sugar, molasses and cinnamon. Bring the mixture to a simmer and stir to dissolve the brown sugar. Shut off the heat and keep warm on the stove.
Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat. When the skillet feels pretty hot, add the butter and allow it to brown slightly. Toss in the bananas and arrange them, with a wooden spoon, in a single layer in the pan. Sprinkle with a tiny pinch of salt and cook for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Turn them on their second side and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Pour in the rum mixture and stir to coat. Serve immediately with vanilla ice cream.

This is actually the first time I have really noticed a discrepancy between a recipe and the demonstration on the show. Not vital, but bananas were only sliced crosswise on the show, think the smaller pieces cut as in recipe would be too small. Also,she flamed the rum with the bananas as is traditional. I did this. Would skipping this change the flavor? Maybe not. It IS dangerous!

I have made this a few times now. It is great! I find it helpful to let the sauce cool a bit before you put the ice cream on, or else I end up with a lot of melted ice cream. The other good thing about this is that it's not very expensive.
