Bananas Foster

Peel the bananas and slice them lengthwise, then cut in half to create quarters; set aside on a plate.

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat until foaming, about 1 minute.

Add the brown sugar and cinnamon to the melted butter, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves and the mixture becomes fragrant, about 2 minutes.

Arrange the banana quarters in the caramelized sauce in a single layer and cook for 1 minute on each side.

Remove the skillet from heat and carefully pour the banana liqueur and 1 oz rum into the sauce, stirring gently to combine.

Return the skillet to medium heat and add the vanilla extract, stirring until the sauce is smooth and coats the bananas, about 1 minute.

If flambéing, pour the additional 1 oz rum around the edge of the skillet away from yourself, then carefully ignite with a long match or lighter; allow the flames to subside naturally, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Place a scoop of vanilla ice cream in each of four serving bowls, then spoon the warm bananas and sauce over the ice cream and serve immediately.
