Bananas Foster
This is as close as I can get to the dessert that is served for breakfast at Brennon’s, a New Orleans restaurant. It is great to make it in a chafing dish, and serve it flaming.
6 ripe bananas, very thinly sliced
6 tablespoons butter
6 tablespoons sugar
1/3 cup cognac, warmed
Vanilla ice cream
Saute bananas in the butter, sprinkling them with the sugar, until the brown and caramelize a little and get crispy. Flame them with the cognac and spoon over vanilla ice cream.
The banana has a totally different flavor and texture when cooked this way.
