A bit over the top with the spices - try Brennan's Restaurant recipe - it's just right.

I thought this was fantastic. I could get all the flavors coming through..not too many spices in my opinion. Alton is always right on the mark.

I've been making this for years. I'll have to add something tho. Placing a sweet, cruchy waffle on the bottom of the plate and assembling the fosters on top, puts this dish over the top.

Dynamite. Go light on spices, try Cointreau or Tia Maria instead of banana liqueur, or brewed coffee for a less sweet result, serve on coffee ice cream.

I backed off on the spices and used cinnamon instead of allspice. I also didn't have banana liqueur or orange zest so I threw in a splash of triple sec. 'Twas delicious on waffles this morning.

The foster was really good but it had a little to much spices. It was a great foster but could use a little less spices.
Michelle, best foster ever!

I have been making this recipe all my life and simple really works here just use equal parts butter and brown sugar and heat with bananas and equale part rum and ignite. Easy with a gas stove because you don't need a match.
For 3 servings I figure about three to 4 ounces butter, brown sugar and rum. Forget all the spices.

This recipe is great! I cut the recipe in half, and instead of regular rum... I added malibu pineapple rum (the only rum I had on hand and a splash of brandy. I never added the zest at the end, and it still turned out amazing. Previous reviews harped on the fact that it was too spiced up with the nutmeg and all spice, so i didn't add quite as much as the recipe called for (but close enough! haha. This was the first time I ever tried bananas foster, and i was impressed how easy and tasty it turned out!

I followed this recipe almost exactly, but I substituted Torani French Vanilla syrup for the banana liqueur(didn't have any and substituted cinnamon for the nutmeg. WOW. Though, do be careful when you set the rum on fire, I had to grab the lid for my pan and throw it down because the fire was starting to creep up the sides. Didn't have orange zest either, and it came out really delicious. I thought I would share this with my mother, and before I knew it I had eaten the whole thing!
Practice flambe rules, and you will have an amazing dessert!
