Instructions

Peel the bananas, cut them in half lengthways, then into pieces about 5 cm long.
Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat until it just starts to foam.
Add the banana pieces and let them brown for 2 minutes without touching them.
Turn them gently, sprinkle over the brown sugar and cinnamon, then let them caramelise for 2 minutes.
Add a few drops of cooking juices or rum if you like, then let it reduce for 30 seconds.
Serve lukewarm, spooning the caramel from the pan over the bananas.
