Bananas Foster

Description: Bananas and brown sugar, goes well with ice cream. Doing a flambe on the alcohol in the pan is common with this dish. The flambe does not add anything to the flavor and can be skipped entirely. For liability reasons I will not describe the flambe process here. Pyros can Google it for themselves. Yield: 3-4 Servings
