Equipment

  • 12-inch stainless-steel skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ½ cup light brown sugar (4 ounces; 113 g)
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch ground nutmeg
  • 1 generous pinch kosher salt
  • 3 medium ripe but firm bananas (about 1 pound; 450 g), split in half crosswise and then lengthwise
  • ¼ cup white or aged rum (60 ml)
  • Ice cream of your choice for serving

Instructions
 

  • Melt butter with brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a skillet over medium-high heat until bubbly, about 2 minutes. Add bananas, cut side down, and cook until caramel smooths, about 2 minutes.
  • Add rum and ignite the alcohol (careful!); cook until flames die and caramel thickens to honey consistency, about 1 to 2 minutes. Alternatively, simmer without igniting.
  • Flip bananas cut side up, then transfer to serving plates with ice cream as desired.
